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.
