Acer Predator AG7750: Gear Up for World Domination

A force to be reckoned with, the wickedly powerful Acer Predator AG7750-U2222 gaming desktop PC complements its gamer-savvy graphics, razor-edge processing and ultra-fast memory technology with enhanced features like customizable overclocking, dual LAN connectivity and liquid cooling.

With dynamic mechanical elements and cool lighting effects, the Acer Predator AG7750 will be the envy of your gaming partners (see larger image).

Driven by an elite Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX470 graphics for serious gaming and entertainment enthusiasts, the Predator AG7750 houses this muscular computing power within a mechanized black and orange case. Lifting the armored face shield reveals the all-access interface for fine-tuning your gaming, complete with glowing red LEDs and claw-like optical-drive doors.

The Predator AG7750 is ready from a thermal and power standpoint to take on 3-way SLI graphics--the next generation in graphics technology--delivering amazing, cinematic visuals with the combined power of DirectX 11, CUDA and NVIDIA PhysX technologies. And you can scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a 3-way SLI-certified motherboard (the AG7750's motherboard has an installed GTX470 card and can accommodate up to two more).

And the AG7750 is primed for dynamic, heart-pounding 3D gaming and video playback thanks to the NVIDIA SLI graphics. Just add an Acer GD245HQ/GD235HZ 3D monitor for a fully immersive experience with NVIDIA 3D Vision--a combination of high-tech wireless glasses and advanced software--to transform hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D.

The two-part liquid cooling system maintains a low CPU and GPU core temperature for increased efficiency and longevity. Enjoy faster system bootup, quick application loading and lots of space for content creation and multimedia files from the installed 1.5 TB hard drive and 12 GB of three-channel DDR3 memory. And the hard drive cage allows you to have up to four hard drives at 2 TB each for an amazing 8 TB of storage. Other features include a wealth of ports (including 11 USB, eSATA, and FireWire), an HDMI video output for connecting to your HDTV, high-definition 7.1-channel surround sound output, and dual Ethernet ports. It also comes with a USB keyboard and optical mouse.

This Gateway desktop comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (64-bit version).
