Review: Polywell Poly 590SLI2-FX62 Desktop At CNET
CNET has reviewed the Polywell Poly 590SLI2-FX62 gaming PC. 'If you're looking for blazingly fast performance but care not a whit about aesthetics, then Polywell may have the perfect PC for you. Systems from smaller vendors are often hit or miss, and Polywell is no exception. But when the company nails a concept as with the Poly 590SLI2, you can get a solid computer for less than what high-end boutique vendors would charge. The Polywell Poly 590SLI2 is one of the first systems we've seen with AMD's new Socket AM2 chipset and the new top-of-the-line Athlon 64 FX-62 CPU.
Add in two GeForce 7900 GT graphics cards in an SLI setup, 7.1 Creative speakers, and a 20-inch Samsung LCD, and the $4,399 price doesn't look quite so steep. Still, if you absolutely must be the first on the block to get an FX-62 system, you probably will want a four-card quad-SLI rig--and once you're in this price range, what's another $1,000 or so between friends? (Yes, Polywell also offers a quad-SLI config for this machine.) Speed-conscious buyers should also consider the imminent release of the next generation of Intel CPUs, which could quickly turn your envy-inducing FX-62 system into yesterday's news.'
