Beats HOMEMADE garbage hands down. This computer absolutely rocks. I've used homemade jobs from every high-end geek around. Every one told me the same thing: "This home made computer will be very reliable and much faster!" Well, they are AL
Dont worry about cost! i knew it is very good since i have mach motherboard i did realized how good it....
An Actual Review: Falcon NW Gets It Right the First Time. I bought a Mach V in November 02 and have purposely waited to post this review to see how the machine performed over time. On the positive side, the sales representative was very knowledgeable and
Awsome PC. I know that this is a little late. The price has gone down on this PC a ton and Falcon also offers AMD systems, which are ALOT cheaper. I priced a system with some awsome features such as: AMD 3000+, 1024 MB corsair ram, Radeon 9800 PRO, SB Aud
...... First off, let me say that I do not own the falcon. I had my pc custom built for a little over 1200 $$,it runs good and has a nice warranty, but that doesn't mean that the falcon sucks.I would love to own a custom built pc from falcon, alienwa
The dream machine! The best PC I have ever owned. With a standard 3 year complete service warranty standard with your purchase, you can not go wrong.
Very Nice Bargin. Great machine, bought it for 500bucks in spring 07 with a 22" Gateway LCD Widescreen DVI monitor. It is a great bargin.
Top of the line performance. Dismiss the peanut gallery of negative opinions. If you want to have and enjoy the fastest pre-built machine now, look at the professional reviews and forget the crop of do-it-yourselfer's out to yap the obvious that you
You want quality, reliability? You have to pay for it! To those individuals that said they can get this system for less in the future.. duh. Of course the cost of the components will decrease over time, it's called technological progress, and thank G
Come on. If you geeks have the time to waste looking, and to buy all these top of the line components on line go ahead. What a nightmare dealing with all these online purchases shipping costs, backorders and liars. Something goes wrong, who do you call? O
Truly Superior. I just got my Mach V. I spec'd it down a little and got the basic coolermaster 201 case, nice Sony CD/DVD-RW, 120GB, Zip100, 1GB RAM, 2400+ AMD, Audigy sound, and nVidia GeForce4 7800. It came with a binder with full specs and a QA ch
An Actual Review II: Falcon's Technical Support is Excellent But Inconvenient. null
I could have made the same computer....but didnt have the time. null
Best Computers ever built. null
Have you every used one. Ok, this is the deal. I'm sitting hear in the middle of class going through all of these comments becuase I'm board out of my mind and I'm reading a bunch of bunk on the negative side. Now what I see is a bunch of p
The Best.....Period!!! Basically the reviews boil down to this, the people who voted thumbs down did so because of price. The people who voted thumbs up read the Editors' choice review, did some research, probably were burned on more than one occasio
5K to burn - sure, or instead buy a Talon. Understand that the Mach V is a great system, but geez, if you are whining about the price... then don't get it. Falcon-NW makes a budget system line called Talon. These system are extremely well built and a
I see stupid people. null
This is good. i don't know
custom built my PC for $600 and I'll bet my bank account its faster than this 'money robbing' machine. People look...understand that PC parts are only good for 3-4 months before its replaced with a faster part. In this case, $5000 will turn

don't like the appearance of the machine, and the price is not reasonable given the specs. Build a computer with the following: aluminum case, high-quality power supply and case cooling, high-quality CPU cooler, one or two Western Digital 10,000k ..

Entirely Too Expensive! Ok. I've followed Falcon NW for a while and I do a lot of my comparison shopping here on cnet, but I have to go with the "..problems." guy. Think about it, this computer will be this good for about six months. Alread
Maybe you shouldn't talk to geeks.... I don't know who's buliding boxes for these people, but I built my own two years ago and never had a problem....AND I did it way cheaper than market price at the time and my PC still runs great....I gue
Don't need it. Short and simple, this machine is just way too good. Too good, that you don't need it's features. Once you actually do need the features, it'd be cheaper and better.
Computer=good, price=not so good. I love the mudslinging here on Cnet. Here's my 2 cents: This is a great computer. It has a lot of good stuff to offer, decent speed, reliable service and respectable components and extras. Is it the greatest thing on
Homebuilt Quality Depends on Skill. All right. I don't own this computer, and wouldn't be caught dead buying one. It is definitely one of the fastest you can buy at the moment, but it is not worth it unless you like having a $500 custom paintjob
What's inside does Matter. First off I want to say that I own A computer business that builds compouters. 2nd I will say $5000 is a lot to pay for a computer today. I priced out the system parts from my suppliers and found the system to not be extrem
Not for the Timid. First off some things need to be made clear. The Falcon Northwest Mach V is considered a premium gaming rig. This is not supposed to be some bargan basement People PC computer, or some Dr. Frankenstein home job. This machine represents
Only parts . . . Well Jorge, a house is only a bunch of parts, a car is only a bunch of parts, a TV is only a bunch of parts . . . I guess since you're so smart you build all those yourself as well.
Hardly the fastest machine. I could build a machine for alot less money and it would blow smoke all over this one.Intel cpu in it isnt the fastest at all.An athon 64 4000 will eat the intel for lunch.Also a radeon 9700 is a dog compared to some of the car
Build it for 1/3 the $ and be able to upgrade it for years to come. null
Very good PC....too bad you can get one as good from elsewhere for about 2K less... null
Incredibly expensive. You can have the same system for about $2,300, but you must know your technology. It is not a bad system, just that it is INCREDIBLY expensive. Check out cyberpower.com
The Negative Reviews Here Mean Nothing To Me. You pathetic idiots that are giving the Falcon systems thumbs down because of price are total morons. I don't even own a Falcon system, but I do own a Voodoo system and get the same flak from my friends t
You can build almost double the specs for half the price. Want proof? Go to Dell.com and look for a link that says outrageous deals. You can get a P4 3.06 processor, 1.5 GB RAM, 200 GB HD, huge monitor, THX surround sound, and an ATI Rage 9700 Pro graphic
Is C-NET selling computers now?? Send me two-thirds of this price and built you just like it and ship it to you-prepaid !! Come on quality is one thing but even rich fools need to stay away from this one..
Fast, but no cigar! Such a lot of hyper-rash and Diaper-rash over the Mach V! Clearly, it is a fast machine. Clearly, it is a very expensive machine. Is it worth the high cost? That's up to those who are willing to pay for it, and no one else. There
To spoiled kids. This computer is nothing, because its not cheap and its not fancy. If you want regular pricing, get a d*ll/compq/hp/whatever. But the real prestige computers are voodoopc.com.
Great specs... but WAY overpriced. Having been an owner of both-- custom Alienwares and Falcons, Falcon always seems to fall some what short of the Alienware, especially in the speed arena(NOT knocking them, for they are awesome machines). Another contend
Very good PC....too bad you can get one as good from elsewhere for about 2K less...
$5k for a PC? Laughable. I saw the quote "And don't believe a word you hear about how great homemade computers are." by someone who wrote a review here, this basically gives you the average uneducated, lazy moron's perspective on compu
Not worth the bucks. To those who say you can not build a good and reliable computer yourself: all I can say is bunk. I built this unit two years ago and it runs just great. It is now in need of a memory upgrade and a few upgrades elsewhere thanks to rece
Build your own and get better for less. This may well be a very fast PC, but I'm betting that mine is faster and I built it for a whole lot less. I put the very best of everything in my PC, purchased a high res 19 inch Sony flat screen,Sony DRU500AX
I have not bought one, but way overpriced. I am a power user. I use a computer from mid range-gaming to mid range-word processing and I still manage to fry a computer every year and a quarter. So heres my story: I was (and still am) looking for a high per
600 hundred bucks...end of story. I custom built my PC for $600 and I'll bet my bank account its faster than this 'money robbing' machine. People look...understand that PC parts are only good for 3-4 months before its replaced with a faster
