Blazing gaming performance in Windows XP. Blazing multimedia performance. More than 1 terabyte of drive space. Falcon NW can install dual-boot of Windows XP/Vista.
Performance dependent on driver revisions. Vista still isnt quite ready for gaming. Costs a lot of money, even if you skip the custom paint option.
The newest quad-core processor arrives in the latest Falcon Northwest Mach V. As expected, the system is fast, well-built, and expensive. Its a system for enthusiasts looking for something to brag about and blazing benchmark-test numbers....
Fastest gaming PC weve ever seen; somewhat less expensive than the competition; quiet; pristine interior.
The overclocking might be a little too aggressive; digital media archivists will want more storage space; Blu-ray costs extra.
Falcon Northwest continues its tradition of building the fastest gaming PCs around. This one comes with Intels quad-core chip clocked higher than weve ever seen before, and its resulting game performance sets new records. You might want to bolster so...
Intel quad-core CPU (overclocked to 3.6 GHz). Two nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards in SLI mode. Custom paint job makes for a very personal system.
Really expensive. Case is getting a little long in the tooth.
Falcon Northwest updates its venerable Mach V gaming system with quad-core graphics and dual nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards. The CPU adds a little kick, but the paired 8800 GTX cards are the real stars here, pushing frame rates up to surreal le...
Wiring isnt quite as neat as wed like in a system this expensive; didnt lead the pack in benchmarks.
Make no mistake: We had a hard time deciding which system would earn the "Ultimate Game Machine" title. Though the Voodoo PC system won, this is only slightly behind. ...
Abstract: Meet the Mach V: Stone Goddess, one of three new Falcon Northwest systems (the other two depict fire and water). Falcons artist, Jeremiah Thiring, spent about 60 hours airbrushing the case by hand. Falcon overclocked the rigs new 2.93GHz Intel Core 2...
Jaw-dropping speed. Quieter than some of the competition.
Extremely expensive.
The Falcon Northwest Mach V runs Intels long-awaited Core 2 processor (formerly known as Conroe). Its the new desktop performance champ, and the one others will be chasing around the track for quite a while....

Overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo CPU; overclocked dual-GPU Nvidia video card; typical Falcon attention to detail.
Costs as much as the faster Core 2 Extreme Dell XPS 700; overclocked CPU doesnt deliver as much of a boost as wed like; relatively small hard drive capacity.
If you want a gaming-oriented Intel Core 2 Duo system and you have to have it right away, the Falcon Northwest Mach V pumps out plenty of frames per second but falls behind the faster Dell XPS 700 in other computing tasks.
Dual everything (cores, graphics, drives, memory). Pushes performance boundaries. Well-routed cables. Lots of space for additional hard drives. Three-year parts and labor warranty.
Astronomical price tag.
The Falcon Northwest Mach V (FX-60), pushed by a slew of top-drawer components, blew past some previous benchmark-test records and will serve gamers well—if they can afford it....

Top-rated performance; new dual-core AMD FX-60 CPU; includes hard-to-find 3D cards.
More expensive than the competition; massive power draw of the graphics cards imperils high-detail Doom 3 gaming.
Falcon Northwests most recent Mach V boasts outstanding specs, first-rate build quality, and record-breaking performance scores, but a power glitch and the sky-high price (even for an elite gaming PC) prevent a stronger recommendation.
