"This is a highly impressive system that takes the crown as the most flat-out powerful we've ever used "

"The Scan Jellyfish - the first PC with a real Monsta in the attic"

"As well as using the 3XS Power DAW as a real-world music making workstation for several weeks, it handled everything we threw at it..."

"The SCAN 3XS 5200 OC offers superior GeForce 3D Vision gaming performance, at a superior price! "

"...A very powerful PC with everything you need to deal with the increasingly high demands of pro audio production."

"...Scan's 3XS machines have a reputation for excellent performance and meticulous attention to detail."

"...exceptional performance in multi-threaded applications but doesn't break the bank due to overclocked CPU."

"...the fastest PC reviewed in SOS to date."

"...the Scan 3XS Intel X58 Core i7 is a generally well-built machine that delivers bleeding-edge performance in almost all of our benchmarks without charging an excessively-high premium for the privilege. "

"There's ferocious, Core-i7 driven power, mind-blowing 3D performance, a Blu-ray drive and SSD storage in one of the most thoughtful and well-conceived builds we've ever seen. It's for these reasons that it's our top-rated ultimate PC "

"Given that the Scan 3XS X58 Core i7 doesn’t cost much more than any other high-performance PC and is so much faster, you’d do well to place an order as quickly as possible."

"Scan proves that Steven Spielberg chose the right fish to star in Jaws"

"Outstanding machine for mid-range CAD, delivering excellent CPU performance for well under a grand."

"high-end CAD workstation with capacity for CAE and unrivalled build quality..."

"Scan and nVidia have combined to create a superb value gaming system"

"...a compelling solution for high-end CAD users"

"...a screamingly fast package of the latest hardware that's expertly built and configured. An excellent performer that won't disappoint."

"...Scan delivers classy gaming performance without wasting money."

"The White Cobra is more awesome than an AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopter."

"Immense power and storage in a box that’s tailor-made for techie show-offs."

"At an impressive time of under ten minutes, the PC ripped the opposition to shreds. Even when faced with a taxing HD file and previously rendered title sequence, the video did little to test the raw power of the 3xs system."

"...a good choice for the serious gamer on a budget."

"E6600 at the heart of its new 3XS workstation to deliver a machine that not only boasts an extremely attractive price point, but is not exactly shy when it comes to performance."

"Teriffic performance and lots of upgrade potential makes this a gamer's dream machine."

"Core 2 Extreme lives up to hype with a storming debut."

"This is the fastest AMD system we’ve ever seen, with a jaw-dropping list of high quality components."

"The insides are powerful for such a relatively small package. Not only does this look da bomb, but it's got the components inside to match."

"An obscenely powerful and superbly put-together PC. If you’re sceptical about whether anyone needs this much power, just try playing HDR games at ridiculously high resolutions. You may not be able to go back."

"Overall, this Scan system turns in a stunning performance for a very reasonable price. I think we can safely assume that dual-core systems are going to be extremely popular with the PC musician, and Scan themselves should expect plenty of customers for their audio PC systems."

"With an AMD dual-core processor and a Terabyte of storage under the hood, this brute of a machine should eat most standard desktop machines for breakfast…"

"As hot as the jam inside an innocuous-looking Pop Tart"

"‘this is the PC version of the Deathstar and the Ferrari Enzo all in one’"

‘the Chameleon blazes a trail that’s both bonkers and brilliant’

"For no-compromise gaming, the Cobra wins out"

"A stunning and utterly desirable leviathan of a PC, with by far the fastest graphics performance PC we've seen"

"This PC gives you everything and more. Record breaking performance and good looks"

"Scan's latest BIOS-booted PC is equivalent to replacing a Ford Mondeo with an Apache helicopter"

"The Golf GTI bought high-performance motoring to the masses, and an overclocked PC such as the 3XS-OC brings power computering to the majority"
