Photos: New Commodore XX gaming PCs LAN it up

Our adventure began last night in Soho, London. Commodore invited us into an underground gaming crypt to check out its latest and greatest gaming machines. About a dozen Commodore XX machines were rigged up to a private LAN, all radiating their hella cool designs and top-notch specifications.

Pictured is a de-panelled XX machine. The internal design is as impressive as the exterior. First up, there's a pair of Nvidia 8800 GTX GPUs in SLI configuration. An Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU powers away behind a custom-modified cooling system from Arctic. Two gigabytes of Corsair Dominator memory sit alongside the CPU, along with X-Fi audio from Creative and a pair of 10,000 rpm hard disks in RAID 0 configuration (a 500GB disk sits quietly inside too).

Spec-wise these machines are among the most powerful gaming systems you can buy. Still, at almost £3,000, they should be. What was interesting is that Commodore told us its plans to include SSD disks in a future model, along with 4GB of on-board flash memory for even quicker program loading times. This will speed up an already blisteringly fast system. Click through for more photos. -Nate Lanxon
