Fujitsu building the "fastest rig on the planet"
Looking to rival Alienware and the like, Fujitsu has announced it is producing a new gaming desktop PC which they claim will be the “fastest rig on the planet.” The bold claim came along no hardware specifications whatsoever, other than mentions of it using the “best of the best” components and something they refer to as “German ultra clocking” – whatever that might be.
The Japanese computer manufacturer is certainly hoping to build up hype for their upcoming gaming desktop line. Although we are not sure what to expect, perhaps we should give Fujitsu the benefit of the doubt; at the very least it will mean more competition in the high-end gaming segment. To keep us interested (or should I say confused) the company has also released a vague teaser video which just features some blurry visuals and a bunch of amusingly corny statements like “You can defeat all your enemies.” Interested? Check it out after the jump.

whatever that might be.- I think German ultra clocking is where they overclock your processor to be faster than David Hasselhoff hitting the floor after a 12 pack. |

with the notion that Hasselhoff is even remotely qualified

imitate him...creepy.

| captaincranky on July 25, 2009 3:03 AM | Forget steppings A0, B0, and such, the technical triumph
you've all been waiting for is here at last...,"goose
stepping"...! Lol, man having lived in
Germany for many years, its still beyond me why they like
Hasselhoff. Even had friends who could imitate
him...creepy. I hate to state the obvious, but
possibly because his name is "Hasselhoff"? Hells bells,
that's almost as German as Dusseldorf! What would you use as a sales pitch for the world's fastest rig? My personal favorite would be, "this baby snorts liquid nitrogen, and farts transistors..... |
| skitzo_zac on July 25, 2009 3:50 AM | Did anyone else read it as ""most expensive rig on the planet". And I mean I wanna see what the case looks like thats all really. I like nice looking rigs and cases, but IMO no real computer enthusiast or gamer buys Alienware or any other pre built "gaming rig" do they? What kind of self respecting gamer or enthusiast doesn't build their own rigs? |

My personal favorite would be, "this baby snorts liquid nitrogen, and farts transistors..... ....show us your game....and well show you our rig. Skitzo, are you kidding? i have known gamers that didn't know that the left panel of their computer was removable.....condemn them to an Xbox i say. LOL |
| tengeta on July 25, 2009 5:35 AM | The really hardcore gamers may build their rigs, but the WoW playing basement dwellers are using the discount display model eMachine that their mom found at Best Buy and then phone tech support to get a timecard activated because fuck using a web browser when you can call someone while you're playing a different game. Thats a real scenario from someone I hung out with, hence its detail. Note the "hung out WITH", as his friends and girlfriend took a backseat to his Paladin. |
| JudaZ on July 25, 2009 6:26 AM | If its like any other Fujitusu Siemens gaming machines i
wouldnt trust them at all . Their previous "High end machines" have had alot of problems with bluescreens, overheating, cardreaders causing booting problems and so on... but ok .. now its no longer Fujitsu siemens...just fujitsu .. so have to see how it turnes out |
| hamsteyr on July 25, 2009 8:26 AM | Ahaha its not that hard to believe... back in the day, i
used to read only gaming magazines, which promote Alienware
and the like till no end... Not long ago as well building your own rig wasn't as common as it is now, so Alienwares were viewed as the cream of the crop really >_> In this day however, pre-built systems, the ones targeted mostly to enthusiasts like gamers don't profit much i would imagine... only in the bulk order computers for the office people would they profit o.o" |
| windmill007 on July 25, 2009 10:22 AM | I bet Maximum PC beats them |
| Guest on July 26, 2009 1:18 PM | Theres no way they can make a com as fast as alienware. Alienware roccks! |
| captaincranky on July 26, 2009 2:43 PM | Witness the arrival of the "Uber-Computer", "building a
bridge to the future". OK, I think I should apologize to both Nietzsche and Bill Clinton for that the pinch of phrase. Ja Sir, I wünschen Sie ein, mit der German uber-abstoppen! Und mit der sieben kanal ton! Ich wünsche zu zur deutschen Nationalhymne hören! |
| Guest on July 26, 2009 3:01 PM | if they can top maingear's latest i would be surprised |
| captaincranky on July 26, 2009 3:11 PM | Yeah well. my "uber-computer" is better than your "uber-computer"! |

I think you do have an accurate summary for a percentage World of Warcraft players. |
| Emin3nce on July 26, 2009 6:23 PM | Actually, i take that back... There's a difference between
hardcore gamers (the ones that do build their own machines,
and take them to lans etc... to spend hours and hours
fragging eachother senseless) and the MMORPG
community. So to be fair, your comment relates to MMORPG gamers, and again, not all of them

you're saying then. is that one group of rabid,addicted,
gamers is a social caste above another group of rabid,
addicted, gamers? Or perhaps you meant, "morally
superior"?So to be fair, your comment relates to MMORPG gamers, and again, not all of them Ring back in if I've missed anything. |

Never bought it...lucky me..because not long after it went on sale they had to recall it .. it could catch on fire *lol* |
