“The ASUS ROG GT51 is no ordinary gaming machine. It is engineered with ROG gaming DNA to give you mind-blowing gaming experiences you would not find elsewhere.”

ASUS has just unveiled the ROG (Republic of Gamers) GT51CA at a recent press event. With its sharp-angled polygonal edges and smooth surfaces, it is a sight to behold, and has already won me over purely in the looks department. It also claims to be the world’s first gaming desktop to feature the latest 2-way SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card.

In a nutshell, here are the key features to drool over:

• 2-way SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X graphics card.
• 2016 iF Design award-winning gaming desktop that delivers extreme performance with an aggressive design and gamer-friendly features.
• Powered by the latest 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor with full-core Turbo Gear overclocking up to 4.6GHz.
• Liquid-cooled Hydro Overclocking System for the processor and dedicated air channels for the graphics card lower the system’s internal temperatures by up to 31%.
• Dynamic 8-million-colour LED effects across 4 zones on the chassis and front-ported audiophile-grade ESS DAC and amp.
• Wearable ROG Band included for users to access a hidden 1TB shadow drive or overclock with a swipe.
