Acer launched its new Aspire Predator line of desktop computers, dedicated to PC gaming enthusiasts.
An aggressive looking chassis design conceals the latest generation technologies that expert players demand for new levels of unmatched intensity.
It has a deep metallic copper colored housing and the front of the body can be raised, accompanied an optical bay mechanism to reveal a rewritable DVD and Blu-ray Disk reader.
The easily accessed USB and audio ports on top are complemented with a front-mounted multi-card reader. Blue rays of light emanate from the power button and front hard-drive door, for a polished look.
It also provides easy access to the hard disks via a special door on the front of the lower part of the chassis: the standard Acer Easy-swap Hard Drive solution makes the 4 Serial ATA 3 Gb/s high capacity hard disks removable even when the PC is turned on and in use. This rapid access and replacement of hard disks transforms it into an easily expandable, scalable platform.
RAID 0, 1, 5, 1+0 modes with Nvidia MediaShield Storage technology guarantee data security in the event of disk failure. The optional high speed Raptor 10.000 rpm hard drives offer exceptional performance especially when configured in its RAID 0 striping configuration.
Dual LAN technology permits blazing file transfers and optimizes system performance, and its teaming mode permits two connections to work at the same time for network redundancy.
It incorporates the highly overclockable Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor with 1333MHz FSB. The nTune overclocking utility offers simple control over the traditional complex process of overclocking the CPU, RAM and graphic cards without the need to constantly reboot after adjustments.
In addition the Nvidia nForce 780i SLI MCP, 3-way SLI capable motherboard offers 2 x G9600GT, 2 x G9800GTZ or even 2 x G9800GX2 (4 x GPU) extreme graphic cards depending on the configuration.
The desktop features a liquid cooling system that maintains cool system performance amid intense gaming. This cooling system can last for continuous operation without fear of pump failure or coolant evaporation.
The desktops come with essential accessories such as a multimedia gaming keyboard with illuminated keys that light up to play in the dark, a gaming mouse, Dolby Home Theater audio enhancement as well as EAX 4.0 support for the best gaming audio experience. The Predator permits integration of even more sophisticated technologies and components.
