    What does spending more on a Gaming PC get you?

    If money is no object and you want a machine that looks nicer than a Ferrari, Falcon Northwest is the trend setter.

    This Associated Press story by Ron Harris ran in scores of publications including USA Today, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, NY Post, Miami Herald, and many others.

    "With prices coming down, PC gamers on the verge of buying a new machine must ask themselves: Does it look cool, and can it run "Crysis"?
    In my tests, Falcon Northwest delivers the best machines when price is no object."

    A "QuadFire" Talon sneaks up on the competition

    Even more amazing, the Talon could hold its own against machines that are almost twice as pricey, while being incredibly quiet.

    One of the first systems to offer the new ATI Radeon 5970 dual-GPU graphics cards, this system Maximum PC reviewed had two of them under the hood. That's right - 4 GPUs in a "QuadFire" configuration! An incredible amount of firepower, but we decided to let the GPUs do the fighting against a $9,000 system they'd just reviewed... so we put them in our cost-conscious Talon.The result? About 90% of the speed for 50% of the price. And the Talon is quieter, runs colder, and is better looking to boot!  Verdict: 9/10 and the Maximum PC "KickAss" product award!

    The good: 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.
    The bad: Limited room for expansion.

    FragBox Core i7 wins the "KickAss" award!

    Faster than big, bad gaming desktops and almost fits under an airplane seat.

    You know when a little person shows up in a Ben Stiller movie he's gonna whoop some ass. Sometimes that's not just a comedy film cliche. Take for example, Falcon Northwest's size-challenged FragBox...
