Wiring isnt quite as neat as wed like in a system this expensive; didnt lead the pack in benchmarks.
Make no mistake: We had a hard time deciding which system would earn the "Ultimate Game Machine" title. Though the Voodoo PC system won, this is only slightly behind. ...
Abstract: Meet the Mach V: Stone Goddess, one of three new Falcon Northwest systems (the other two depict fire and water). Falcons artist, Jeremiah Thiring, spent about 60 hours airbrushing the case by hand. Falcon overclocked the rigs new 2.93GHz Intel Core 2...
Jaw-dropping speed. Quieter than some of the competition.
Extremely expensive.
The Falcon Northwest Mach V runs Intels long-awaited Core 2 processor (formerly known as Conroe). Its the new desktop performance champ, and the one others will be chasing around the track for quite a while....

Overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo CPU; overclocked dual-GPU Nvidia video card; typical Falcon attention to detail.
Costs as much as the faster Core 2 Extreme Dell XPS 700; overclocked CPU doesnt deliver as much of a boost as wed like; relatively small hard drive capacity.
If you want a gaming-oriented Intel Core 2 Duo system and you have to have it right away, the Falcon Northwest Mach V pumps out plenty of frames per second but falls behind the faster Dell XPS 700 in other computing tasks.
Dual everything (cores, graphics, drives, memory). Pushes performance boundaries. Well-routed cables. Lots of space for additional hard drives. Three-year parts and labor warranty.
Astronomical price tag.
The Falcon Northwest Mach V (FX-60), pushed by a slew of top-drawer components, blew past some previous benchmark-test records and will serve gamers well—if they can afford it....

Top-rated performance; new dual-core AMD FX-60 CPU; includes hard-to-find 3D cards.
More expensive than the competition; massive power draw of the graphics cards imperils high-detail Doom 3 gaming.
Falcon Northwests most recent Mach V boasts outstanding specs, first-rate build quality, and record-breaking performance scores, but a power glitch and the sky-high price (even for an elite gaming PC) prevent a stronger recommendation.
Abstract: Yeah, we’re hardware junkies. And we’re always chasing that next high. But as with any other addiction, the highs are harder and harder to come by. Gear that had us drifting on a heavenly cloud of bliss three months ago might fail to raise our...
Next generation Athlon FX-62 CPU. Quad SLI graphics. Handcrafted with care. Speediest multimedia machine Ive tested.
Stratospheric price tag. Some mixed, though fast, performance results.
Premier gaming PC vendor Falcon Northwest consistently manages to grab hold of cutting-edge technology, and the Mach V FX-62 Quad with the latest AMD processor and nVidia Quad SLI graphics solution is a perfect example....
This latest Falcon Northwest Mach V features Intel's new six-core CPU, a new motherboard chipset, and the usual assortment of high-end components
Gamers won't see much benefit from Intel's new chip compared with the old flagship Core i7, and the imposing Mach V case isn't for everyone
Well-heeled gamers with professional-level application performance needs should look into this statement-making Falcon Northwest Mach V, but you can spend far less and still enjoy top-notch gaming with an older CPU....
Solid, attractive case, Excellent performance in all benchmarks, Surprisingly quiet, Excellent warranty, Competitively priced
Some RAM slots are difficult to access
The exact Mach V we reviewed will set you back a shocking $8,484. Subtract the costly paint job, however, and you're looking at about $7,300. That's still a wheelbarrow of cash and more than the $6,300 Origin Millennium we recently reviewed, but the Mach...
