Scan 3XS AM2 Isotope Computer

There was a time when the only way to own a computer that wasn’t merely a rather non-descript beige box was to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty but, thankfully, times have changed and now, thanks to companies like Scan you can own a computer that, rather than tucking away under a desk, you’ll want to exhibit with pride.

Built around the latest Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe ATX motherboard and the advanced AM2 chipset, this high-end gaming system boasts an AMD Dual Core 64 4200+ processor, 1GB of RAM, a nVidia 256MB 7600GT graphic card, a Soundblaster X-Hi Xtreme soundcard and 160GB SATA300 harddisk – all for very reasonable £1142.62.

However as tempting as this piece of kit is, personally I’d hold off until after Vista has been released and has settled so as to be sure of getting a system that is optimised for the new operating system – especially with respect to fully direct X10 compliant graphics cards. (That said, this is merely my opinion and others may feel differently).
