integrated fingerprint scanner huh?
what if u cut yourself and won't be able to use your comp?
j/k
neat stuff,but only for people with too much money to spend
It's a great product in many ways I'd say comfining the potential of most decent gaming PCs to that size is an accomplishment.
However I'm a strong proponent of quiet computing, and I normally believe tomshardware under estimates how loud some products they review are, if they say this is loud, then I'd probably want it set up in a different room to me while I'm using it. Personally if I was to get one, I'd try quietening it in any way possible, only use a dual core cpu, put a passively cooled 8800GT (if I could fit one). Or perhaps external watercooling would be ideal though it might contradict the point of space saving and would be inpractical for lan parties.
