Reviews of the Ultimate X8 III

  • 7.1

    CNET Review

    March 19, 2007

    The Good: Strong configuration for your PC dollar; plenty of room for post-purchase upgrades.

    The Bad: Liquid cooling hardware too loud and too cumbersome; online support needs some work.

    The Bottom Line: ABS's Ultimate X8 Stealth Extreme is most definitely not stealthy thanks to its loud cooling hardware, but for sheer bang-for-the-buck, this high-end gaming PC has a lot to recommend it. Whether you like it as is, or plan to make upgrades later, this PC makes a strong gaming box. Just don't expect it to win any design awards.

    Review Summary: The ABS Ultimate X8 Stealth Extreme isn't the fastest PC you can buy, but it turns in above-average performance without being ridiculously expensive.
