What’s the best gaming rig out there? Well, if you have enough money, you can go ahead and build your own atom-smashing-data-crunching-powerhouse. Or you could check out what companies like Alienware have in store for you. Among these companies, Asus is quite a new-comer, but it can easily stand out with the Ares line-up. Along with the GTX 200 series launch, Asus thought it would be a good opportunity to announce its new Ares “ridonk” system.

Why “ridonk?” First of all, the new Ares CG6155 is integrating a GTX 280 Tri-SLI setup. Immediately following is the impressive power-related part: “the ultimate gaming powerhouse" features no less than 2 kW of power with its "dual power supply design."

At the heart of the new Ares lies an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 factory overclocked to 4.0GHz, thoroughly supported by an Nvidia nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard and up to 8GB of dual-channel DDR3 1333MHz memory. Optionally,, you can equip the monster with up to 4TB of HDD storage, Blu-ray drive, specially designed gaming keyboard, Logitech's G9 mouse and a headset.

Asus is pretty good at leaving people craving for more, without specifying availability dates and pricing, and this case makes no exception. You don’t really expect it to cost a little bit over you average system now, do you? Additionally, in case you plan to buy this behemoth, you might also consider the acquisition of a tachyonic field generator to provide enough continuous power for this rig.
