Vigor's transparent, well-lit Gaming Stealth NE desktop delivers more than just good looks. It's also a surprisingly powerful machine—and, considering its price of $1,299, you don't need to be a Plexiglas heir to afford it. With a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor overclocked to 2.82GHZ, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, two 250GB hard drives in a RAID Level 0 configuration, and two 256MB Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT cards set up in a CrossFire dual-card arrangement, there's a lot of gaming potential to be found here. The Gaming Stealth NE fared quite well in our performance tests, delivering a score of 8,845 at a resolution of 1,280x1,024 in Futuremark 3DMark06 and a score of 7,201 at 1,600×1,200. In Company of Heroes, it delivered an average of 87.2 frames per second (fps) at 1,280×1,024 and 57.5fps at 1,600×1,200. Frame rates dropped considerably at 2,560×1,600, so we don't recommend playing most games at that extreme resolution. Even our 1,280×1,024 Supreme Commander test netted playable, if unexciting, frame rates of just under 30fps. The machine did predictably well in our productivity tests, too.
