    Acer is using the tagline of "Faster. Deeper. Harder. Further" to market its new system. Tell that to your partner, and she might just let you buy it.

    Fugly only begins to describe that monstrosity... Is there really a market for that kind of thing?

    Re: Headlines - Acer's Predator targets the hardcore gamer

    looks interesting..... like the idea of how the front door goes up and not to the side.... but it looks like its going to chew up any cds etc you try and put in it.... yeah there probably is a market for this, but i know definitely its not for me in its current state! wonder how much it'll cost.
