  • Performance-focused build competes well with PCs that cost twice as much; strong single-card gaming performance; effective heat management
  • Limited bandwidth should you add a second graphics card, few multimedia extras (for the benefit of a lower price), lower price necessitates fewer multimedia extras
  • Falcon Northwest's goal with this Talon build is to highlight the overclocking benefits of a new unlocked Core i7 CPU from Intel. Though the chip proves effective, we're more impressed with Falcon's ability to streamline its configuration. You'll find...

  • Dual Radeon HD 5970s; super quiet; relatively energy efficient.
  • Where’s the Bluray drive? Will never get a hexacore upgrade.

  • Abstract:  The Falcon Northwest Talon’s smart design, fast performance, and power efficiency make it a solid buy. For those looking for an upper range gaming PC that costs around $2,500, the Talon is a good choice, as it even has performance that some more expensive systems provide.

  • Abstract:  The new Falcon Northwest Talon (Core i7-860) ($2,495 direct) is totally new. Previous Talon models came in the same mid tower case, but with this iteration, Falcon has a new case design as well as new internals that make it one of the faster performers...

  • Abstract:  Editor's Note: Due to some testing discrepancies, we retested the Crysis and World in Conflict 3D game tests on the Velocity Micro Edge Z30 and Falcon Northwest Talon (Core i7-860). Those changes are reflected in the review below. The system's overall ...

  • Speedy, high end gaming system. Very good build quality and cable routing. SSD for speedy load times. No Bloatware.
  • Door only opens to 90 degrees. Extra performance may not justify the added price.
  • The Falcon Northwest Talon (Core i7-860) continues the series benchmark dominance over rivals. It doesnt win every benchmark; instead, it shares that spotlight with the previous Talon we tested....

  • Fast, overclockable, and power-efficient new Intel Core i7 CPU; performs in the same neighborhood as PCs that cost $500 more; will play any game on the market at almost any image-quality setting; strong new case with some clever features.
  • Limited room for expansion.
  • Falcon Northwests revamped, mainstream-oriented Talon gaming desktop puts its best redesigned foot forward with a new case and a strong, price-competitive configuration built around Intels latest batch of Core i7 CPUs. Shop around, as many vendors wi...

  • Great gaming performance for less than $2,500. Great wire routing. Simple, air-cooled overclocking.
  • Case is a fingerprint magnet. Lacks multimedia card reader. Looks like a run-of-the-mill PC.
  • The Falcon Northwest Talon proves that you dont need to spend over $5,000 to get great gaming performance....

  • Overclocking results in very good performance; Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive included; neatly organized interior
  • Price is somewhat high given the performance; limited upgrade potential; monitor not included
