Odin is simply one of the fastest PCs on the planet. The Core 2 Quad is backed up by the famous Asus Striker motherboard and 4GB of enthusiast-grade memory. Graphics are done with two 8800GTS video cards, each packing a mammoth 640MB of on-board memory. All of this is fueled by two Western Digital Raptor hard drives, the fastest consumer drives around.

Thor is perfect for gamers who use 19" LCD monitors. There's plenty of power to run all of today's games at 1280 x 1024 resolution with maxed settings. Also, Thor comes SLI-Ready so upgrading is just a video card away. The excellent NVIDIA reference motherboard holds everything together here, 2GB of memory is standard, and a Western Digital Raptor plays application duties.

Njord is a more versatile machine, and comes in three different flavors. Njord SLI is more oriented towards the casual gamer who still wants to have an easy upgrade path. Njord AM2 swaps out the Intel Core 2 Duo for an Athlon X2, and promises compatibility with the AMD Phenom processor when it arrives. Njord 775 is just a rock-solid platform more oriented towards business users and the home professional.

Magni is the most affordable machine in the line-up, designed for web-browsing, email, and word processing activities. It harnesses the Athlon X2 processor, NVIDIA integrated graphics, and 2GB of memory to run Windows Vista without breaking a sweat. It is a quiet yet powerful machine in a compact form factor, and is perfect for a quiet office environment.
