DREAM
MACHINE
2006
Take a moment and look closely at this rig. You
can’t see it beneath the glossy paint job on the
one-of-a-kind aluminum case, but this beauty is a
performance beast. In a world of 3.7GHz dual-core
processors and quad-GPU rigs, fi nding a new way
to capture the essence of Pure PC Power grows
more diffi cult every year. This time we’ve outdone
ourselves; we haven’t just built the fastest rig
we’ve ever tested—we’ve built a refi ned beauty,
suitable for a place of honor in your living room.
A truly Dream-worthy PC.
We’d never sacrifi ce power to build a beautiful
rig—without the juice, this PC would just be another
pretty face. If you have any doubts, dig the hard-
ware. Our eleventh annual Dream Machine sports
a so-new-the-silicon’s-still-warm Core 2 Extreme
processor, a pair of overclocked GeForce 7900 GTX
videocards, almost two terabytes of storage, and a
Blu-ray recorder that can slap 25GB of data onto a
single 5.25-inch disc. And did we mention that it’s the
fastest rig we’ve ever tested—by a huge margin?
A computer this fast should require a license.

No ordinary PC will ever be fast enough to slake our
thirst for speed—look beyond the pretty-boy paint job
and you’ll see a rig that will blow you away!
