22 January 08. Computer Supermarket has done it again, launching the ultimate 8GB home gaming centre at a price-busting £799 plus VAT. Featuring an Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU housed in a funky gaming case, multiple fans ensure everything stays nice and cool since, the cooler the machine, the better it runs. Top this off with a 22” widescreen monitor for spine-tingling realism and this really is the gaming daddy.
A full 8GB of the fastest DDR2 memory ensures that games load rapidly and applications run at optimal speed. The memory also comes with a lifetime warranty so on the rare occasions you switch it off you’ll be able to sleep at night.
With a huge dedicated 512MB nVidia 8600GT PCI-E graphics card, you’ll comfortably be able to play any game on the market today with a level of definition and clarity that’s hard to believe.
The 22” multimedia screen includes HDMI/HDTV connection to the monitor, ensuring crystal clear viewing whether you’re gaming or watching DVDs. The package also includes Windows Vista Premium and Microsoft Office 2007 Professional (fully functional 60 day trial), ensuring the top level hardware is supported by the best software available anywhere.
“Our customers expect us to provide great value systems but with this 8GB package we’ve even surprised ourselves,” says Computer Supermarket’s Ian Bird. “If there’s
a better value premium gaming system on the market today we’ve yet to find it.”
