Acer Predator PC Is Over-The-Top (And Awesome)

This is Acer's new dedicated gaming PC, the "Predator". I could tell you the specs (Intel Core 2 Extreme, Nvidia nForce 780i SLI, 8GB memory), but really, that's not why we're here. We're here for that case. That ridiculous, completely unnecessary, completely awesome case that looks more like a writhing Patlabor fetus than something you use to keep your PC's delicate bits away from the elements. I mean, just look at it. It doesn't just "flip open". It transforms from a closed state to an open one. And before you start, yes, it's "just" a case, but this is probably the first and only time I'm going to gush over one, so indulge me for a minute, could you?

Acer's "Games Machine" Explained

Here's the deal with regards to Acer's supposed "games machine": they weren't talking about a "games machine" at all. Company VP James T Wong was just misinterpreted! A compay red has since said:
That was a major misunderstanding as JT was wrongly interpreted. Acer is not going to release any game console but the idea is to develop a high-end PC targeted at the serious gamer.
Nothing further to see here, move along, move along.

PC Makers Acer To Enter Games Market?

Unexpected, this. Apparently Acer, makers of desktops and laptop PCs, are poised to enter the games hardware market. No, really. German site Gamestar are reporting that the company's senior vice president, James T. Wong, cited the closed, proprietary nature of consoles as the inspiration for Acer's move, as he announced their plans to create an open-standard, PC-based "games machine". Not much more than that to go on at the moment, so until there's something a little more concrete - and a with a little less "why in God's name would you do that?" - let's call this one a rumour and get on with our days.
