    Battle of the Gaming PC Titans

    Tom's Hardware pits the Mach V against All-American Computers, ABS, Alienware, CyberPower, and Totally Awesome.  For overall performance, the speed crown is with the Falcon.

    They only used quality parts and do not skimp on the details. Their case painting, cutting, detailing, cabling and overall package is elite. People have used Falcon as the standard in the high-end market for some time. Yes, they are veterans, but they have only gotten better over time.

Along with being impressed by the paint job, they took note of our finely tuned configuration and blazing speed. But don't take our word for it, read the review yourself.

    The FragBox is honored with a special award for Hardware Design!

    In CGW's 21st Annual Awards issue, they gave out awards to the best games of/1/2004. World of Warcraft won the coveted Game of the Year Award, no surprise there. But we were surprised (and pleased!) to see 3 Hardware Awards given as well. They were given to the AMD Athlon 64 FX-55, PCI Express, and the FragBox 2 for its groundbreaking design.

    The extra inches and multiple fans mean that the days of cool running, miserably weak power supplies are over.

    The FragBox 2 isn't much bigger (about 2 inches wider and deeper) than it's older sibling, but our review unit's slick looks, top-of-the-line components, and desktop PC-crushing benchmarks prove that it is way, way badder.
