Origin Genesis

Origin is a newcomer to the boutique PC vendor field--sort of. Though the company is relatively young, it's manned by former Alienware bigwigs who thoroughly understand high-end PCs. And when the Origin Genesis arrived at the PCWorld Labs in a...

Record-breaking performance ; Gorgeous chassis

Steep price tag

Offering the highest general performance we've seen to date, the Genesis is arguably worth the arm and leg that Origin is asking in trade.

Way over priced unless you just have cash to burn.

The bottom line is that this machine costs as much as a decent used car. Any savvy builder with a little wit could easily build a comparable machine for less than half of the Genesis's asking price. If you have money to burn this is your machine. Some...

The machine is incredibly powerful, nimble, and swift. Benchmarks are awesome...but would you expect anything less from a $5000 machine

While the Genesis is impressive it is no marvel of engineering or ground-breaking technology. It is simply as good as the sum of it's parts. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm no big fan of the ATI graphics cards, but that's a whole other story

The Incredible Hulk of PC's.

My neighbor bought an Origin Genesis and now I have been extremely JEALOUS! To make a long story short my order is being worked on as we speak.

Their PC's are totally customizable with many options to pick from unlike the competition. I've been doing my research and they are the best BANG for your Buck

I don't own one yet but I am working on it

Awesome case, Corsair 800D if you didn't know who made it, I own one, EVGA Classified is also nice as well

Just a bit pricey Origin

Look I've built a similar system with the same case and 3 EVGA GTX 260's AND 2 60 GB SSD's AND a 1.5 TB Drive and I still managed to save a ton of money on my car insurance. Just build your own. You'd be surprised how much you'll save

Awesome case, Corsair 800D if you didn't know who made it, I own one, EVGA Classified is also nice as well
