Looks may be deceiving when it comes to the Polywell Poly X3800 ($3,975 direct, $4,499 with 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor). At first glance it appears to be merely a standard, underwhelming tower server or desktop PC. But inside you'll find some serious performance parts—namely, an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad-core processor and a single 768MB nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra card (with SLI upgrade capability). Think of it as a Toyota Camry with the Lexus IS F's big, honking 416 horsepower V8 engine lurking under the hood: a veritable wolf in sheep's clothing. This is a serious option for those who don't need a flashy gaming rig yet don't want to build the alternative themselves.
