Voodoo PC OMEN a121x CrossFire Extreme Gamer PC - [hardware]

HotHardware take a look at the Voodoo PC OMEN a121x CrossFire Extreme Gamer PC. Delving briefly into the OMEN CrossFire's specs, you'll note this system is built around ATI's recently released CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset, on an Asus motherboard, driven by a highly overclocked Athlon 64 FX-60 at 2.95GHz guaranteed stable and warranted from the factory for 1 to 3 years. 3D Graphics are rendered with a pair of the fastest GPUs ATI has to offer in CrossFire mode - the Radeon X1900 XT. 800Gigs of 7200 RPM Hitachi RAID 0 storage array serves up the file system, along with 2GB of low-latency Corsair 3500LL Pro memory and a Creative Labs X-Fi to keep the tunage on key.
The Voodoo OMEN CrossFire a121x posted some of the fastest general application benchmark scores we've seen to date. In fact, many times the system produced the top benchmark score we've ever recorded from an off-the-shelf setup, especially in our Office, Windows Media Encoder, and Cinebench testing. From a gaming perspective, and frankly that's what we need to focus on when considering this product's overall value, the OMEN CrossFire also offers up best-of-class performance, trading punches with our ever-potent GeForce 7900GTX SLI reference system.

There are a few caveats that are more or less intrinsic to the base technologies the system is built upon, however - those being its dual Radeon X1900 XT graphics cards in CrossFire mode. Here's where the OMEN CrossFire unfortunately isn't quite as shiny as its impressive chassis and cooling system. During testing, we saw graphical anomalies with 3DMark06 when CrossFire was enabled, but perhaps more discouraging was the somewhat flaky behavior of ATI's drivers, which occasionally hung while loading the Catalyst Control Center, requiring a reboot of the machine.
