Acer gets predatory over gamers

One look at the Acer Predator design, and we were sold. Seemingly inspired by the iconic masked aliens from the movies, the angular body kicks girlish, curvy designs in the rear and (almost) makes gamers feel like real men-at-arms.
Under the panel lies a Core 2 Extreme processor, three-way SLI graphics support, TV tuner, and up to 8GB of system memory (for 64-bit operating systems). Though there is currently only a desktop on display, from the teaser site we gathered that a line of Predator notebooks seems likely. Availability, pricing, and other details are unknown so far.

I keep hoping this stays true with this machine because most the machines I've seen with 8Gigs of RAM are stupid expensive. The box isn't the fastest one out there maxing the FSB out at 1333 unless overclocked. Either way it's nice to see Acer pushing the 32bit era out of existence with the 8 gigs of ram stock although the site makes it sound like there will be a few models with less then 8 gigs.
The case is awesome though, I've always been a fan of modded cases etc but this thing is awesome, I love the stock color and with that front grill up it looks like the combine that devourers City 17 from Half Life 2~!

- I'm not sold on the case. It looks like a grade schooler designed it.
