If you are searching for a competitively priced gaming PC the Cyberpower Gamer Ultra X1900 XT may just fit the bill. 'The Cyberpower Gamer Ultra X1900 XT is the first system we've tested that uses ATI's dual-graphics card CrossFire technology. This gaming PC offers seemingly infinite configuration options; our $3,499 review unit paired two Radeon X1900-series graphics cards with AMD's Athlon 64 FX-60 and included a wide-screen, 19-inch ViewSonic LCD and a 5.1 Creative speaker set. While ATI's CrossFire technology has advantages over Nvidia's competing SLI setup, we don't favor the external dongle required to connect two ATI CrossFire cards.

Still, the Gamer Ultra X1900 XT didn't exhibit any of the stability problems we saw with the first batch of SLI systems, nor does it carry their sky-high prices. On our tests, performance was mixed, with CrossFire leading on Half-Life 2 and SLI taking top honors on Doom 3. Whether you favor Nvidia's SLI, as we do, or see the merits of ATI's CrossFire, there's no debate that the Cyberpower Gamer Ultra X1900 XT isn't a great deal for the money.'
