Maingear’s Pulse ION PC is small, energy efficient and built for gaming. Though “low power and high performance” may seem like oxymoron, it’s the perfect maxim to describe the Pulse; built around the Nvidia ION chipset.
Starting at $799, this tiny 7.6- x 8.3- x 11.4-inch box fits a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, 8GB of ram, Wifi capabilities and the option for a blu-ray drive and TV tuner making it an optimum entertainment machine.
But not to get anything twisted, the Pulse was still designed with gaming in mind:
Serious gamers have the option of adding a GeForce 9800 GT ECO discrete graphics card that consumes 40% less power than a standard GeForce 9800 GT – available in both 512MB and 1GB configurations. This version of the Pulse is available with high performance, eco-conscious 65 watt Core 2 Quads.
With upgradeable options of Intel’s 45nm processors (C2 Duos and Quads) and a 300 watt 80%+ efficient PSU it’s easy to hum along all night tromping through digital worlds without leaving a huge eco-footprint or electricity bill behind.
