The system packs Intel's new Core i5-2300 processor with Turbo Boost 2.0 and H67 chipset, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and 1.5TB of storage. It's odd that Acer has opted for Nvidia's GeForce GT 420 graphics card, which is hardly ideal for modern gaming, and if you're buying a pre-assembled rig, you probably don't want to be hassled with swapping GPUs.
Connectivity includes three PCIe x1 slots (no mention of spare x16 slots), 10 USB 2.0 ports (four on top, six in back -- no word of USB 3.0), mini-HDMI, DVI and VGA outputs, as well as a multi-card reader. The AG3600 is available today with a one-year warranty for $899, and while won't go as far as calling the system overpriced, it sure seems like a poor value.

i5-2300 and GT 420, I would call it over priced, especially for $900.
For $900 a DIYer could throw together an 8GB RAM, i5-750 / Phenom II X4 965, GTS 450 / GTX 460 system...

Lipstick on a pig, and some pretty garish lipstick at that.

Indeed a shiny paintjob. But comparing it to it's rivals, it doesn't stand up in a virtual firefight.
Honestly Acer, a premade machine that requires of you to replace some of it's components prior to use, is not a machine made for instant 1337-gaming...
