Quite impressive figures especially the V3 if you’ve got $4000 plus spare at the moment. But with 12GB of memory and three NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 cards onboard, the V3 will give you plenty of great gaming time. All the models are customisable just in case those specs are exactly what you’re after. We also noticed on the V3 that if you’re an impatient gamer and can’t wait for your gaming beast to start up, it comes kitted out with an 80 GB SSD to boot up from in super-fast time. Nice!
