THE ACER PREDATOR ORION 9000 IS AN 18-CORE DREAM FOR L33T GAMERS!

Introducing the curved 35-inch, 21:9, 1440p, 200Hz G-Sync gaming monitor, dubbed Predator X35.

The Predator X35 is a carbon fibre clad, a RGB-laden behemoth of a gaming desktop with masses of upgradeability. The computer is due for release before the end of 2017 and according to Acer, the Orion 9000 has one of the most extreme l33t gamer designs, with aggressive angles, vents, and enough RBG lighting to blind even the most hardened of PC gamers. There are faux carbon fibre highlights throughout, too, along with a hinged side panel window that quickly comes loose with a click. Notably, the window has a metal mesh applied to it that distracts from the look somewhat but is required to make the machine EMI certified. 

There are built-in handles and wheels, although it's doubtful the Orion 9000 is something you'd want to wheel about often. Inside, Acer used a motherboard of its own design that features eight DIMM slots, support for up to 128GB of DDR4 memory, and up to 42 TB of storage via tool-free mounts. There are five 120mm fan mounts, one of which is taken up by an all-in-one liquid cooling unit manufactured by Coolermaster. 

Alongside the Orion 9000, Acer unveiled the Predator X35 monitor. It includes pretty much every feature you could ask for, including a curved 35-inch, 21:9 ratio VA panel with a 4ms response time, 200Hz refresh rate, and 3440x1440 resolution. 

It supports Nvidia G-Sync variable refresh rate technology, as well as HDR, thanks to a 1,000 nits' peak brightness. Connectivity is handled by a single DisplayPort 1.4 port and HDMI 2.0 port, and power is handled by an external adaptor. There's also a VESA mount for those who want the ultimate surround gaming setup, thanks to the X35's slim bezels. A price is yet to be announced, but we'd expect it to be very expensive.
