Aeoncraft AEON-8010



This high-powered system offers impressive graphics but a strange case design.
If you're on the prowl for a superfast PC, check out iBuyPower's new luxury brand, Aeoncraft. We tested Aeoncraft's Aeon-8010, which delivers the same hardware and superlative performance of a $5000-plus PC at the relatively reasonable price of $3595 (as of 3/23/06).

Our test unit owes its first-rate performance scores in part to AMD's dual-core, 2.6-GHz Athlon 64 X2 FX-60 processor and 2GB of DDR400 SDRAM. With this configuration, the system posted a score of 141 on PC World's WorldBench 5 tests--matching the second-fastest score we've recorded thus far and missing the top mark by a single point. (Xi Computer's MTower 64 AGL-SLI scored 142.)
The unit's graphics test results were also impressive thanks to ATI's top-of-the-line graphics card, the Radeon X1900 XTX with 512MB of DDR3 on-board RAM. With a frame rate score of 169 on our Return to Castle Wolfenstein gaming test at 1024-by-768-pixel resolution and 16-bit color, the Aeon-8010 ties for the highest score among our currently tested systems (as of 4/12/06). Not surprisingly, informal game play on Doom 3 was very smooth.
