Acer Aspire G5900-U3092 Predator

Acer's new Aspire Predator G5900-U3092 offers a more conservative take on the highly stylized original Predator design we've come to appreciate. We prefer the more committed original design aesthetically, though we also can't deny that this more refined version requires fewer annoying steps for those who want to access the system interior. Regardless of the design, we can't advocate buying this system due to its $1,349 price tag. You simply don't get enough in the way of features or performance to justify the cost, particularly next to systems like the $999 Velocity Micro Vector Holiday Edition. The Predator G5900-U3092 seems to want to find a balance between a staid traditional midtower look and the more, dare we say, extreme Predator design Acer debuted in 2008. The new design swaps out the adjustable faceplate for a comparatively toned-down appearance. The faceplate was one of the more uncommon design elements we've ever seen on a desktop, but it also involved four anchor points that connected to the sides of the case. Getting inside the case thus required you to remove the faceplate as well as the side panel, a process that would get tedious for heavy case tinkerers.
