August PC Roundup: Killer Gaming Rigs



Last month Ryan and I talked about our favorite summer travel PCs.  This month we’re back to talk about some of the most mercilessly powerful, aggressively styled, outrageously large PCs out there – gaming rigs.

Even in this niche class of PC, there’s something for everyone, whether you want something small, big, inexpensive or totally loaded.  For this video, we shot the Alienware M15x, the Origin EON 18 (which I reviewed just a few days ago), the Asus Republic of Gamers G51J 3D, the Acer Aspire 5738DC-6165, the Toshiba Qosmio X505 (a.k.a “Big Red”, read about why I love it here), and Ryan’s custom Falcon Northwest FragBox

Watch the video and let me know which one you liked the best:
