› Corsair One Pro i180
Convention dictates that those looking for serious
performance need to make do with boring-looking
workstations. And that such a system will be
massive. Not so the Corsair One Pro i180. Brimming
with the latest hardware, this machine not only has
the performance to turn heads, but it has the looks
as well. Its diminutive frame, smart styling, and
ingenious cooling make for one of the most appealing
systems we’ve ever had in the Maximum PC office.
Expensive, but oh so worth it.

Corsair isn’t having the workstation redesign party all to
itself, because Acer has turned up fashionably late with
its own take on proceedings in the form of the ConceptD
- Boasting slightly more sober styling and a more
traditional form factor, this workstation still manages
to impress both in terms of performance and looks.
We would have preferred some beefier fans inside the
case, but the rest of the components are up to snuff, and
overall we like where the workstation market is heading.
