Aside from the very odd (and hopefully one-off) screen issue, the only major complaint with the Xtreme 780 is that it is a very noisy beast. It generally offers good build quality and lots of features, moderately attractive if unremarkable looks, and a decent amount of customisation. But, quite apart from the annoying acoustic issue, in terms of value for money there are better alternatives out there right now. Addendum: Since Rock sent us the sample reviewed here, it has changed its available configurations. Unfortunately the fastest Core 2 Duo which is now available in an Xtreme 780 with 9800GTS video card is a 2.2GHz T5900 with 2MB cache, rather than the 2.80GHz T9600 with 6MB cache in our sample machine. Obviously this would have a significant impact on the benchmark results, though our assessment has been altered to take this into account. New options include a 2.0GHz Q9000 quad-core processor and, at the top of the range, a 2.53GHz QX9300 quad-core. Read full review
