Acer Aspire Predator

Acer's Aspire Predator is a peculiar power desktop. We see this particular configuration more as a sturdy base with room to grow than a power PC in its own right; a little more detail work on its guts could push it toward the top of the category.

Competitive price Striking design

Liquid-cooled, but not overclocked

All in all, the Aspire Predator delivers solid performance for its price, but a few additional tweaks and a little reconfiguring could have squeezed even more performance out of this killer-looking machine. Cut the RAM in half, overclock the CPU, boost...

Acer Aspire Predator

Acer has gone all-out audacious with the Predator PC, which is aimed at hardcore gamers and fans of all things orange. It has more moulded plastic tha...

Case design is quite functional despite the front-panel door, good monitor, fast performance, liquid-cooled CPU

Doesn't have an option for the latest and greatest in graphics and RAM technology

Acer has made a valid attempt at creating a monster of a PC in an Alienware-like vein, but ultimately, its attempt falls short because the high-end model doesn't include options for the latest in memory and graphics technology.

Acer Aspire Predator

Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.

Acer Aspire Predator

The predator worked best for me, bought a projector and it made everything look like a real dream... removed the VISTA and put Windows 7 Ultimate, and all was incredibly smooth.

The looks the performance the display

Thought about it and shifted from the TFT to the projector...RESULT Breathtaking

Acer Aspire Predator

I dont think the Graphics Cards is a Con as it can have 2 of them, and if your that worried you can install your own or upgrade it later on.

Quad Core with Overclocking ; 8GB RAM ; up to 4TB HDD (i only have 3 TB though) ; The insides is very neat and tidy ; Its rigged up and ready to go (i didnt have time to build my own)

I didnt like the fact it only comes with Vista Home Premium but thats cause im used to Win XP

Acer Aspire Predator

Acer's showing a new way, but its not completely a good way

well, Intel Core 2 Quad or Extreme flies ; tons of HDD Space ehich cna install alot of games (even many FSXs) ; Free Call Of Duty 4 ; A valueable PC for intermediate gamers, not for fussies

Build Quality, it just can't beat Aleinware and XPS build quality at all ; As mentioned, the interior of the case is not quite satisfying ; the front case is not quite a good looking one except for maniacs, I'd prefer Simple Cases like what they done...
