The Poly 976N4 from Polywell comes with a 256 NVIDIA graphics card. One of the standout features of this package is the included 20” LCD flat panel monitor.
Processor:
The base price includes a 1.86 Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a 1066MHz front bus speed. This is a good processor, typical of gaming computers in this price range. It should run demanding games fine.
Memory:
Like most other computers in this price range, the Poly 939N4 only comes with a one GB RAM. It has a 250 GB hard drive, which is enough storage for most gamers. If you're planning to upgrade to Windows Vista at some point, you may want to consider upgrading to two GB of RAM.
Video/Audio:
This Polywell comes with a 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce graphics card with a PCI Express Expansion.
The system will support 7.1 channels of audio with integrated sound.
I/O Device:
You can choose from a wide variety of tower chassis to reflect your style. One of our favorites is the super-portable MiniBox.
This package comes with a 20” flat panel LCD and speakers. It also includes Windows XP Home Edition.
Value/Price:
At $1,899, this computer starts out at a slightly lower base price than some of the other systems, but there was no indication that this package includes a mouse or keyboard.
Polywell charges $185 for 3–day shipping and insurance. This will be added to your total price.
Support/Warranty:
Polywell offers phone, email and live chat so you can contact customer support through various avenues. We tried the live chat a couple of different times and no one ever came to our assistance.
This gaming desktop comes with a 1–year parts and labor warranty.
Summary:
If you’re looking for an original tower or portability, check out this Polywell. Nevertheless, the average gamer will find a better computer at a lower price with one of the top–ranking PCs.
