How does this compare to the CybertronPC Shockwave GM1213F Desktop for gaming, work, etc. &amp; will it be quality for near future gaming, work, etc.

Jorgen, The Shockwave has more memory and a comparably performing video card. The 5150 Unleashed II has the Blu-ray combo drive, whereas the Shockwave has a DVDRW drive. Both are fine systems, and can be easily upgraded over time to suit your evolving needs. The choice essentially comes down to the difference in price and whether you'd prefer to start with more memory or a Blu-ray combo drive.

J&J;, now this makes it three! I looked at this computer at Best Buy today and am leaning toward it, but would like to know the difference also!

Depends on what your looking for..supremely portable 909 or desktop somewhat portable..I have the Grundig and love it..Ive only read some reviews on the 909 ..I wouldn't sell my Grundig for one of them..

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

I purchased this computer not too long ago and this computer is a beast. She's run every game i've thrown at her. You can definitely play Nether and LoL, without a doubt. It runs Guild Wars 2 perfectly, even on it's highest settings. I've had no problems with it what-so-ever!

I am considering buying one of these desktops, just can't choose between the 2.0 or 2.4GHz models....I am not a hardcore gamer, mainly graphics programs and word processing, and some blog editing, but will the computer play FIFA 2008 and Sims 2?

If you don't know the answer to this question I would purchase a gaming system instead... I bought not and it crashes all the time... I also had to fight warranty issues with Alienware because thy kept sending me broken comps... This computers are garbage sorry... I regret my purchase

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think this computer is too slow and clunky for gaming. It's a great computer for other things, such as spreadsheets and office work, and fine for photo work.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

Well, I only know about its Gaming performance. I have used 3 monitor setup in the past and I can tell you that I vastly prefer this ultra wide for gaming. Movies look great on it and it's wonderful for internet browsing etc. I have had it for several months and would give it a 5 star rating. Zero regrets from a crusty old PC Gamer.

Quite frankly I didn't buy mine for a gaming computer. I am a businessman who absolutely depends on his laptop. This is the most solid most rugged computer I have ever owned! It gets banged around from the boardroom to the flight deck and always works perfectly. And, when you need to do a killer presentation the sound quality is unsurpassed!

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

I love it for gaming. The refresh rate might be too much for really fast games, but I have no problems with CS:GO. All my games look amazing with very lush colors and good range when it comes to blacks and whites. It's perfect if you plan for multi-monitor situations like eyefinity too.

That is not something I use it for. I think based on what I have experienced though it would work fine. If that was what you wanted a pc for then I think the next model up would be better for the graphics you want. Better but not necessary. I am very happy with mine,

In terms of response time, it's got some of the lowest response times compared to other IPS or AMVA monitors, and games look great on it. It won't beat a 144hz gaming monitor obviously, but I play competitive games on it and it does pretty well.

I just purchased the iMac 21.5 with ATI Radeon 4670 & I've played SC2 beta. It runs sooo smoothly. If you're an avid gamer, I'd recommend the 27" with the i5/i7 processors. They have a better graphics card than the 21.5" but I'm sure if you wait until August, they'll get an upgrade.I played SC2 with my friend yesterday with Photoshop running in the background. I didn't realize it was running but the fan was incredibly quiet & he was the one who got dropped from the game. The iMac will handle.

Hi, I have a gaming computer. Did you end up buying this desk? How is the the height of the desk where you put the monitor? Is it comfortable for games? This matches my furniture and thinking about getting it. Thanks
