ABS Ultimate X8 series

ABS Ultimate X8 Reviewed on 08/12/2005

The Bottom Line: The ABS Ultimate X8 features some of the latest high-end parts, but its performance falls short of other systems in its class. It's well built and offers plenty of expandability, but it could have used some more fine-tuning.

Specs: Intel (3.2 GHz), 3.2 GHz, 1 GB, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 2

Ultimate X8 III Reviewed on 03/19/2007

The Bottom Line: ABS's Ultimate X8 Stealth Extreme is most definitely not stealthy thanks to its loud cooling hardware, but for sheer bang-for-the-buck, this high-end gaming PC has a lot to recommend it. Whether you like it as is, or plan to make upgrades later, this PC makes a strong gaming box. Just don't expect it to win any design awards.

Release Date: 01/30/2007

Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz), 2.4 GHz, 1 GB DDR II SDRAM, 200 GB Standard, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 2
