Falcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650)

Editors' rating: 4

The good: Two Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards give you four GPUs in a small form-factor case; best high-resolution performance we've seen this year; smartly chosen configuration outperforms many more expensive PCs.

The bad: Intel's new CPUs are right around the corner; no Wi-Fi, media card reader, or HDMI adapter.

The bottom line: Falcon Northwest's high-end, preconfigured FragBox 2 leans on a pair of top-of-the-line ATI 3D cards to achieve some of the fastest 3D scores we've seen. You might rightly wait for Intel's new CPUs to ship before making a pricey PC purchase, but if you buy this system now, you'll be treated to a superfast little desktop.
