Acer unveils Predator Orion 9000 PC & Predator X35 gaming monitor

Acer has just announced at IFA 2017 in Berlin, a few new products to add to their Predator arsenal of gaming products. Two of the bunch are the Acer Predator Orion 9000 series of gaming desktops, as well as the Acer Predator X35, a 21:9 curved monitor that features NVIDIA G-SYNC and Acer HDR Ultra.

The Predator Orion 9000 on paper alone, is already a beast. They will feature up to an 18-core, 36-thread Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition processor, up to 128GB of RAM, and up to 4-way AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards, or up to two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti’s in SLI.

The case has a spaceship-esque design going for it, and features customizable RGB lighting, tool-less clear side panels, and top handles & wheels at the bottom for easy transportation.

Keeping the machine’s thermals in check will be Acer’s Ice Tunnel 2.0, an advanced airflow management system that splits the PC into a few cooling zones. Liquid coolin, presumably for the 18-core processor, will be provided by Cooler Master. Given the machine’s insane specs, its real world applications will definitely go beyond conventional gaming. Virtual reality apps, gaming at 8K resolution, and serious content creation are some of the applications that the Predator Orion 9000 series would definitely handle with ease.

Acer Predator Orion 9000 key features:
Up to Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition 18-core, 36-thread processor
