All Predator systems sport a DVD-RW and a Blu-ray drive, liquid cooling for the CPU and come bundled with a Logitech G11 keyboard and G5 mouse. The latter two additions helping to avoid the common retail gaming PC pitfall of bundling rubbish peripherals with a high-end system.
The rest of the system specs and pricing line ups are as follows:
