THE SYSTEMS:

We dont mess around when it comes to the rigs.These PCs form the core of Nexus Gaming so they have to be special.Very special.They have to cope with any game you care to throw at them, and any gaming scenario that may arise...with plenty left in hand. Ultimately, they have to provide the user with the most immersive, stimulating, jaw-dropping game-play thay have ever had,bar none.Built and tested at Mesh to our specs, so you know these are built like a tank,lovingly-wired and competely unflappable.Forget the "ninja" PCs, our systems at Nexus give them a good slapping and send them on their way.Meet Darth Vader of the PC universe:

The Processor: Athlon 1.1 GHz Thunderbird.The fastest processor available commercially.Need we say more? This unholy fusion of silicon and power is pumping away at the heart of each system. The benchmarks on the Thunderbird is enough to make an Intel engineer sell his soul.Ultra-quick and incredibly powerful, there is nothing these processors can't handle.A gorilla on rocket-powered skates. And there is no point having all that power if you cant let it flow, enter the ASUS A7V motherboard.Using the latest AGP chipset, it keeps the beast in check.Add to that a hefty 256Mb of SD-RAM and a 30Gb Ultra DMA hard drive and you have one very serious bit of kit.

The Graphics Card: Guillemot Hercules 3d Prophet II 64 Mb.It looks almost as gorgeous as it plays.Prepare yourself for the specs...64 Mb DDR memory, nVidia GeForce 2 GTS graphics processor, 200 MHz core clock speed, 32-bit colour depth, 32-bit Z-Buffer depth, 1.6 Gigatexel peak fill, hardware 2nd generation Texture and Lighting.It makes the graphics blister across the screen at frame rates so fast that you will invariably find yourself making a small "o" with you mouth and mewling.Its OK, everybody does when they first see this card strut its stuff.

The Sound Card:Creative SoundBlaster Live Platinum.Games need to sound good.They need to be incredibly loud one second, silent the next.The quality is essential to good gameplay.And Creative delivers that great balance of dexterity and quality hand-over-fist.Powered by the EMU10K1 sound processor, it offers full 32-bit, 48KHz sound with hardware acceleration for the absolute best in gaming performance.You need to know whats going on when you're gaming and 4 channels let you know where your friends or foe are coming from.And letting rip with a .50 has never been so satisfying...as the smoke clears you can hear the crystal-clear sound of brass hitting the floor.

The Monitor:iiYama Vision Master Pro 19" 451.There is no getting away from it.A good monitor makes a difference.With that in mind, we got the best. Yes,they are expensive and yes, they are big.And yes, they are absolutely fantastic and we cant even think of how we got by before without one. With such a beast of a system churning out the graphics, it really deserved these.We think that one of the first things you will do when you get back home is price one of these up, they really are that good.

Speakers:Labtec LCS-2514 4-channel speaker and subwoofer system / C-324 Stereo headset and intergrated mic.Theres no point of having a professional sound card if you cant hear the quality.Thats where Labtec come in.With each system having 4 surround-sound speakers and a subwoofer we will have to let you imagine what it sounds like during a Aliens Vs Predator deathmatch on full volume all round. The room literally shakes with the sound of miniguns,pulse rifles and Predator roars, not many people can take it for more than a few seconds.Thats why they have a volume control.If you would rather put on a pair of cans (and you need to for some multiplayer games), we provide the Labtec headset with NCAT system for optimal clarity for both gaming sounds and keeping in voice contact with your teammates.You dont want the enemy to know your next move...

Peripherals: MIcrosoft Sidewinder Force Feedback steering wheels and joysticks.Microsoft Intellimice and Logitech gaming mice.Microsoft keyboards.Logitech Wingman gamepads Extreme.There is no point in playing a game if what you put in does'nt happen on-screen.And when it comes to certain games, split-second accuracy is required.Thats why we only use the best mice,steering wheels and joysticks.We have been particulary impressed by the MS force feedback wheels.They have been taking a pounding around Spa lately in GP3, and they still have that superb feel to them as you fight the back-end into the Bus Stop.

Please note that these systems are our current spec and that we are absolutely committed by contract to upgrading each PC with the latest processors and graphic cards every 3-4 months, so you will ALWAYS be gaming on the hottest gaming machine available, so when you come and stay with us, theres a good chance you will be playing a 1.2 Ghz with the latest generation of the fastest graphic card available at the time.OUR HARDWARE WILL NEVER BE BETTERED BY ANYONE ELSE!

We also keep spare systems of the exact same spec on-site in case of any hardware failure so should anything go fzzz, you will be back gaming before you know it.We also have on-site and remote support, so these systems are never running at less than 110%.
