Abstract: Like many of the Mach V systems weve seen at PC Labs, this one is built into Falcons Exotix case. Its got an automotive paint job with a subtle color shift from a rich blue to a blue/green. Alternatives include no paint—a plain metal case—or a more...
Speedy 3D performance. Great build quality. 1,200W power supply. Quiet. Plenty of ports.
Expensive, especially with SSDs and custom paint. Internal expansion room is hard to access. Not the fastest on every single test.
The Falcon Northwest Mach V (Core i7-975) follows a tradition set by one of the longest-lived gaming PC makers in the business: Building a high-performance system thats pleasing to look at, easy to live with, and has the power to run all your current ...
Fastest all-around desktop weve tested to date; first PC to hit 60 frames per second on our high-resolution Crysis test; pristine build quality.
Costs roughly the same as a year of undergraduate in-state tuition.

Staggering multimedia performance. Speedy 3D performance. Solid-state drive. Sexy paint job. 1,200W power supply. No crapware. Quiet.
Not quite the fastest at 3D games. Pricey.
The new Core i7 gives the newest Mach V some of the best multimedia performance out there, and its 3D performance is also very good, though there are others better at playing Crysis and World in Conflict....
Pretty quiet. Go ahead, run everything at once while you try to hack the NSA: Youve got 8 GB of RAM. Combination Bluray and HDDVD drive. The best allaround PC of the bunch.
Load times are quick, but those drives wont help games play any speedier. Airbrushed aluminum case aint exactly pretty. You can game faster for half the price.
Strong gaming and multimedia performance. 1.6TB of total storage for archiving a large library of games and media files.
Super-expensive. Lacks an HD optical drive.
Overall, the Falcon Northwest Mach V (GTX 280 SLI) is an enthusiasts dream machine with strong gaming and speedy multimedia performance. For $10K, however, youd expect the best of the best, and though it comes close, this Falcon falls a bit short....

Outstanding gaming performance (especially with DirectX 9 settings); attractive, intelligently designed interior and exterior
Expensive; no front headphone or microphone jacks; only one hard drive and optical drive at this price
Its neither the fastest nor the most expensive of the current top-of-the-line Penryn machines, but Falcon Northwests Mach V still offers plenty of gaming power, for an expectedly high price. ...
Outstanding current-generation gaming and application performance; top-notch build quality; overnight shipping coverage for repairs.
Too many uncertainties make it impossible to evaluate this system for DirectX 10 gaming; $1,000 price premium for aggressive overclocking and overnight shipping might not be worth it to more seasoned users.
This newest Falcon Northwest Mach V isnt shy about its price tag, but it also dominated our gaming tests thanks to two fast ATI 3D cards and an overall top-notch configuration. The current uncertainty regarding next-gen PC gaming is the only issue hol...
