Acer Aspire Predator G7750-U222

We suspect Acer knows that some people will cringe at the sci-fi looks of its Aspire Predator G7750 gaming desktop. Those willing to embrace its distinct exterior will find an appropriately fast desktop for this PC's $1,899 price tag. You might be disappointed at the absence of a Blu-ray drive in this system, but Acer at least provides room to expand, including the necessary expansion card slots and robust power supply to support a second graphics card. Though you can certainly build a gaming desktop with comparable power for less, we recommend this PC to anyone willing to spend more for a distinct-looking system. Acer's design is not an officially licensed product of 20th Century Fox's Predator franchise, but there's no denying the resemblance between certain characteristics of the case and the eponymous sci-fi creature. Like the movie monster, the desktop features an adjustable faceplate. Lift the plate up and you reveal the highly stylized front panel of the system. Here, the optical drive trays slide out from behind a pair of mandible-style pieces of plastic, mimicking the design of the Predator's mouth parts.
