Gamers Dream System: The Fragbox by Falcon-Northwest
Great buy for any LAN gamer. Fully customizable, PCI-Express, and best of all its a SFF (small form-factor) with a whole 500WATT PSU. Amazing performance from a small system.

Their Fragbooks are amazing too.

those are pretty cool, but I just don't see the point.. either get a big badass comp or a laptop.. I don't see much point in going half-way..

Thats because BIG gaming rigs are too BIG, and laptops dont hold the POWER that BIG RIGS have, But FragBoxes are SMALL with POWER of BIG RIGS.

too big as in what? unless you live in a box, you have room for a regular sized comp.. the only time i'd justify a fragbox is if I lanned basically every weekend... but even then it's kinda silly because you still have to carry something... be a man!

They are not your average computer and I can understand why people are attracted to them. Full-blown computers lack the sleekness and sexiness the fragbook presents in half-size but full performance.
And you would know a lot about being a man lol... ROFL LMAO JK

Yeah, sorry, I'm with J425 here, I have a laptop if i ever want to do lan gaming, and my dtop has a Thermaltake Xavier case, so it's not leaving my room. I just don't see the point of needing another comp, I have 1 kickass dtop, 1 Alienware laptop, 1 133 P1 comp, and 1 P2 comp for a server...I never go to lan events anyway...

Im thinking about getting one as my next PC cause I average about 1-2 LANS a Month... which isnt THAT much, but still enough to make dragging my case around a pain.. even though I have a light Lanboy.
