Wow, that sure is an ugly 3 grand's worth Fujitsu! Looks like something out of the 80's when Pet Commodores were king.

Good luck trying to tempt cash out of wallets.

It's a nice looking system and I'm glad to see someone realises that gaming wasn't started with USB and older high-end peripherals should be catered for on a system this price - especially as high end stuff can last forever.

I doubt the noise will make it very appealing though, and the lack of blu-ray writer and eSATA is a strange omission on a high-end system. The Peripherals are just odd, if this is a Fujitsu system then why isn't the keyboard an HHKB?

No, those I could do without. The strangest omission from a near £3,000 PC is the lack of an SSD (and Windows 7). Those 10,000RPM 'Raptors are looking increasingly redundant these days, when their price rivals that of an SSD yet delivers considerably inferior performance.

It's a long time since I saw a product that misses the mark on quite so many levels - the core spec is undeniably tasty, but the case (though solid looking) is horrific, the lack of an SSD bizarre, no RAID, last gen graphics tech (the 295 is no slouch, but why have they ignored the 5xxx series?), and Vista?! Seriously?

The inclusion of a top spec Extreme Edition processor is all well and good, but the compromises that have to be made in other areas where budget is even a vague concern are, in my view, inexcusable. On anything other than a total no-holds-barred, money-no-expense monster, you'd be far better off dropping a much cheaper Core i7 920 into the mix and spending the difference on an exotic cooling solution (a 920 under water will in general clock at least as well as, if not better than, a 975 under air), an SSD, top of the range GPUs, a current OS (I'll reiterate - Vista? Seriously!?) better peripherals, and a case that doesn't look like it was designed by a blind man.

Did you guys just look at the spec list and started whining? The 5XXX series weren't even on the horizon when Fujitsu started planning these machines.

And Vista isn't that bad - why all the hate? If you can't use Vista, you lack skill in computer-fu. Blame yourself, not the tool.

Admittedly the casing looks dated, but whoever buys these probably doesn't care about appearances.

PS2 ports do offer something over USB for keyboards - N key roll-over works only for PS2 ports, not USB.

kind of reminds me of that ibm server that i bought for some unfathomable reason other than perhaps for the rather acquired and raw industrial design

and ps2 keyboard ports are a godsend for when your pc just aint having it and refusing to boot up

Overpriced and underspeced. Do they actually believe they will sell these things? All I can say is: FAIL

Sorry to nitpick but I highly doubt this machine has a FW800 port. From your pictures they look more like FW400 ports to me.

No eSATA, probably disgusting PCIe bandwidth for the Quad-SLI GTX295, little expansivity. FAIL.

I could assemble a CUDA-rig myself with for the same price and get even more performance out of it. Shame on Fujitsu!

There's no denying that in terms of components Fujitsu has assembled the best of everything available when the Fujitsu Celsius ULTRA Gaming Workstation was launched, but unfortunately its graphics are now outclassed, and there's little point in using an Intel Extreme Edition CPU if you aren't going to give it a decent overclock. To top it all the company has chosen to stick the whole lot in an ugly and frankly inadequate case, and thus this debut representative of the 'Gaming Workstation' simply fails to hold much appeal.
