[H]ard|OCP has reviewed three ABS desktops, and one notebook so far, and they've increased that to 4 desktops with this review of the ABS Ultimate X8.  They have always been impressed by the quality of service they have received, but the quality of the build is a different matter.  How would you feel with bad RAM and a botched recovery disk?

"We'd all like to own the 'ultimate' PC, and ABS is offering it with its Ultimate X8 gaming rig. But it takes more than burly

specs to please today's consumer. Can ABS and the X8 deliver the goods?"
