Asus Launches Latest Gaming Rig: The Ares CG6155

Asus today announced the launch of the company’s latest gaming monster, er, machine, the Asus Ares CG6155.

The CG6155 packs the most advanced quad-core CPUs with factory over-clocking that boosts CPU performance by a third, 3-way SLI graphic cards, HD audio, DDRIII memory, up to 4TB HDD and a Blu-ray optical drive.

There’s no word on pricing yet, or availability and this has been a long time coming. We first saw this monster at CeBit in Germany before Christmas so we’re wondering how long it will be before we can actually get our hands on one. Then again, we’ll probably have to promise Asus our first born children to get one.

Here’s a run down of the specifications for you:

    In reality that computer would run fine on a high quality 900-watt power supply. I don't understand why companies always require way more then they would ever need.
