Maingear has just unveiled its Axess HD Gamer, a low-profile HTPC rig that manages to muscle a fully fledged gaming PC into a low profile design.
"The Axess HD Gamer was conceived to deliver unsurpassed gaming performance fused with advanced media center capabilities all contained within a low profile case, making the perfect cornerstone for any home theater environment," said Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of Maingear.
The base configuration includes an Intel Core i7 920 processor, 3GB of triple channel DDR3-1333MHz memory, an Asus Rampage II Gene X58 mATX motherboard, two Nvidia GeForce 9800GT videocards with 1GB of GDDR3 per card, 500GB hard drive, 16X DVD reader, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and a Phantom Lapboard.
If that's not powerful enough, several upgrades are available, some of which include an Intel Core i7 975 processor, 12GB of memory, Blu-ray drive, a pair of Intel X-25M SSDs, and more.
Pricing starts out at $1,800.

Video ram is completely separate from system ram. The OS cannot even load apps into V-RAM. Video ram is used for texture storage and other graphic processes.

3GB of triple channel DDR3-1333MHz memory, two Nvidia GeForce 9800GT videocards with 1GB of GDDR3 per card
so 5GB of RAM but a 32 bit OS?

I'm very happy that I managed to fit a 9800 gx2 and later a gtx 280 into a microATX case. The whole thing could easily pass through a hole the size of the 24" monitor that I use with it.
Very nice for LANs.
