W
e’ll keep this short and sweet: You are about to experience one of
Maximum PC’s most important stories of the year. See the gold light-
ing and dramatic camera angles below? You’ll find this treatment on every page
throughout this story, and it’s meant to convey a singular notion: That some PCs
and PC components are, in fact, divine.
Over the course of a calendar year, the Maximum PC Lab scrutinizes and tests
hundreds of different products in a wide range of categories. Only a select few
elevate our rigs to the highest levels of PC-induced transcendence. These are
those products. We guarantee they’ll make a fine addition to your computer—
and your life.
Maximum PC proudly presents the finest hardware of 2004.
