If its in a console and dicated to gaming both will be very fast considering the xbox has a P3 733mhz.

The one with a 5700 would be bad won't it? I have that card and it is nothing special, already out of date I reckon.

ok found the 2 new consols. with the specs of.

PHANTOM

amd xp 2500+
nvidia nforce2 ultra
256 ddr- sdram
5700 ultra
nforce2 ultra 5.1 surround ( built in)
40 gb hdd
and connects useing the ethernet.

system 2

APEXTREME

amd xp 2000+
nvidia nforce 2
256 ddr-ram
nvidia nforce 2 igp ( graphics card)
nvidia nforce2 5.1 ( inergrated)
40 gd hdd
ethernet and 56k v.92 modem

well there are the specs of these 2 new systems and i think it is easy to see that the phantom will be the winner here. also the phantom looks kinda cool a metalic white and black while the apex looks like a silver x box wanna be.

Thumbs up

some how i think you were looking at mini atx pc system not a console....

its possible the company or person building this mini itx system is most likely passing it off as a console which it sound's like it isn't....

all your seeing is window dressing, a mini itx sitting a xbox case hmmm how original, its been done before and it will be done again and again all over again with different painted cases....


welcome to the world of the modders...

Considering that the console has a 5 year product cycle. It won't be very fast. Condisering what PS3 and XBOX2 will be sporting for processor power, it won't be very fast. If you compare it to the original XBOX, then its fast. It's just not up to par with the next gen consoles.

Phantom was that consol that was made by infinalabs(sp). I think that they folded or are non-existant, or something like that. There was an artical on them somewhere on TIMO about them.

its ok to say there's a new console in the wings, though we have yet to hear of any games being in production by any of the major gaming houses for this so called new console, so its fantacy console someone dreamed up or its a console mini atx mod...

going from its namesake i'm guessing this system is a console mod of some sort...

until i see some solid proof of games being developed for this console and its projected release date, i'm going to call it a console mod cause that look's like what it is..


they got caught with thier finger's in somebodyelses pie and they got the can for it...

I think I remember reading about those. If memory serves, they weren't really consoles, more like PC-Console hybrid. They would play standard PC games in a console setting. I think where they where planning to make their money was pushing the store/rental service that came with them. (you would use their store to buy games for the system.
