We'll try not to get too much drool or smudged fingerprints on the rig. After all, we're giving it away to a randomly-selected, active HotHardware forum member! This AMD Phenom X4 9750-based system, with a Diamond Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics card and slick, custom painted case, are the combined efforts of Diamond Multimedia and Smooth Creations--co-sponsors of our April HotHardware giveaway.
At first, we thought we must have received a package with some sort of exotic contents from a foreign land when we saw that it was marked "Fragile". Hmm. "Fra-gee-lay"; must be in Italian.
If we had any doubt about what was inside the box, the custom-printed packaging quickly made it crystal clear.

The first items greeting us when we opened the inner box were four discs cases containing the System Recovery disc, Windows XP Professional, Abit AX78 motherboard drivers, and Nero 7 Essentials.
The Smooth Creations folks took great care in packing up the system. The paint job was well protected against scratches and dings from jostling during shipping.

There should be no doubt what the system was designed to do: hard-core gaming with attitude! The Smooth Creations creative team outdid themselves with the quality of the paint job. The system's rear ports include DVI, Ethernet, USB, audio, and PS/2; ports on the top front of the system include USB, audio, FireWire, and eSATA. As you can see, inside the case is roomy and well-laid out.
