Medion PC, a Lenono company, has announced the ERAZER X5382 E gaming desktop computer. This high-end machine combines a powerful Intel Core i7-4790K processor with two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphic cards pumping pixels in SLI configuration. Based around the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard, Medion's newest games PC is available immediately, priced at £2,399 online.

Starting with the outside of the machine, Medion's gaming PC wears its gaming intentions on its sleeve; the menacing 'aerodynamic' black chassis features illuminated highlights in six colours (red, blue, green, white, yellow and violet) with three display modes (permanently lit, pulsating and permanently off). The front panel gives you access to 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x mic in, 1 x audio out and a multi-card reader. Delving slightly deeper, a Multi-standard DVD/CD burner with DVD-RAM and dual-layer support is also present and accessible from the front of the chassis.

Inside you will find the following key components:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K
  • GPUs: 2 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 graphics in SLI operation with 2 x 4,096 MB GDDR5 memory, 2 x digital HDMI audio/video output, 2 x DVI-I connection and 6 x Display Port
  • Memory: Crucial branded 32GB RAM
  • Storage: 4TB HDD, 512GB SSD
  • Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard with Killer E2200 Gigabit LAN and Audio Boost 2, driven by Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2
  • OS: Windows 8.1, plus overclocking utility

Buyers of this computer will also benefit from a pre-installed water cooling system, a hot-swap mobile rack system and an eSATA Xpress port. Medion supplies the ERAZER X5382 E gaming desktop with a matching keyboard & mouse, a mains cable, a warranty booklet (1 year warranty). The system measures 280 x 560 x 555 mm (WxHxD) and weighs 19Kg.

Hideous looking machine though well specced if rather expensive.
Are these not the guys who make cheap tech tat for the lidl supermarkets ?
I wonder what the water cooling system consists of?
Medion is owned by Lenovo now. They are generally okay from friends experience.

I did a back-of-envelope calculation (I cheated and used PCPP), the link to the parts list is below. Essentially you're paying around Ā£300 extra for a simpler (and shorter) warranty, bloatware, and obviously assembly. I might've been generous with the CPU cooler, and PSU but it's hard to tell what Len…Medion are using. Rest assured they're paying tuppence compared to what retailers charge us for components, though.
