The Cisnet A7099 ($2,999 direct) is a gaming system that shows just how far PC technology has progressed within the past year. This single-card system achieves the lofty 3D benchmark-test scores that were once completely dominated by dual-card graphics machines. I'm not entirely sure if the A7099 could be called compelling, but it certainly bears closer consideration if your budget is in the $3,000 range.
