World Cyber Games 2008 Asian Championship Gaming Rig

It’s World Cyber Games again. The Asian Championship is once again, held in Singapore.

Last year, I did a coverage on the gaming rig that was used there. This year, I am going to do it again.

As usual, the organiser is going to sell the gaming rigs after the competition at a bargain price.

The rig specification is as follows:

  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83 Ghz, 1333 Mhz FSB, 12MB L2 Cache
  • MSI P45 Neo2-FR
  • Aeneon X-Tune 2GB DDR2-1066 CL5 RAM
  • Seagate SATA-II 250GB HDD
  • XpertVision GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB GDDR3 PCI-E x16 Graphics Card
  • Samsung 20x DVD Rewriter
  • CoolerMaster Centurion 534 Casing
  • CoolerMaster Extreme Power 460W
  • Logitech/Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse
  • Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
  • Samsung T220 22″ LCD 2ms response time / DVI interface
  • 1 year warranty

Price? SG$ 1,688. This is a pretty good price if you want to buy a new computer right now.

The downside of the deal is that 2GB of RAM seems too little for Windows Vista. The Windows Vista should be 32-bit as it is not stated. Graphics wise, 9600 GT is good enough, but HD4850 will be better. The PSU is also not powerful enough. At least a 500W will be fine.
