We've stayed away from the $6,000-plus gaming PCs for awhile, largely because the shift to Windows Vista has thrown the high-end PC market into a state of uncertainty. Still, we agreed to review this Mach V from Falcon Northwest because the company sent us a configuration with two long-rumored but rarely seen 1GB ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT cards. They prove every bit as fast as we expected, at least with current PC titles. The next-gen PC gaming picture is impossible to call right now, making it hard to justify spending $6,595 for this system (or any other in this price range with the purpose of playing DirectX 10 games). That's ultimately what prevents us from awarding this system an Editor's Choice Award, despite its very high score. But for current-generation titles, which developers are still improving visually, the Falcon Northwest Mach V delivers unprecedented 3D performance.
