    Falcon wins our 4th straight Ultimate Gaming Machine Competition

    the fastest rig of the bunch this year

    Falcon took top honors in CGW's [UGM] review last year, and rightfully so. Of all the companies involved in this year's comparison, Falcon Northwest has the the most mileage making game-optimized rigs. Their new Mach V is no exception. Overall the Mach V is once again about the fastest rig of the bunch this year.

    Boot Verdict: 92%

    The Mach V is so powerful, you'll probably have the Mafia, the Yakuza, and a few Triads paying you for protection. Even Mikey likes is, and he hates everything. This system is that good.

    As you can imagine, the Mach V flies.  Rating: A

    It seems almost cute these days what they had to say back in 1996:

    "The latest trend in computing is the game PC: Big-name companies such as AST, Compaq, IBM and NEC are targeting power gamers"

    "While it's great for gamers that the big boys are catching on to the gaming market, it's certainly not a new concept.  Falcon Northwest Computer Systems has been building game PCs for four years."

    Faster Than the Speed of Sound

    I guess the thing that strikes most people first about the Mach V is how bleedin' fast it is.

    "You'll have to excuse me if I seem a little emotional; I had to let a friend go, and my life's a little emptier for it. I can't tell you this friend's name, but the initials are Falcon Mach V."
