Sorry but none of those can touch a Overdrive PC period( . )
A E6600 3.4 on AIR COOLING, with stock heatsink.

They are much better overclockers, neater wiring, and cost much less than FNW or busted up Alienware (or is it Dell??? LOL)
Mind you that's not to say that Falcon is not good, but they are just so damn pricey, and if you add up the components they charge you a bundle for the labor. Buy a midrange, and add a card in later, or DIY!

Much love HP!

yes plus just for information purposes. If I remember the specs correctly the E6600 chip from intel is one of their lower end chips compared to that of the Extreme X6800 however the E6600 I believe has better benchmarks and scores on pretty much anything, and runs faster than the AMD FX-60
MUAHAHAHA owned.
Frag.

The E6800 has better L2 cache if I'm not mistaken and has an unlocked multiplier right off the bat, but for $1000 you can buy two E6600 that can over clock to the E6800 or buy one and a 8800GTX. Hmmm...

lol @ both 6600 and 6800. Why don't you guys take a look at the 6700. THEN you'll see some benchmarks!
(quad-core)

Umm been there done that...

I much prefer the E6600 due to price, avail, and overclock-ability. But AMD just released their benchies for the FX-70-74. That thing is HOT, and I don't mean Paris Hilton Hot

Just the power requirements for that thing blow my mind. And the Temps make me want to cook eggs on it.
And with regards to Quad Core, yeah they are fast but did you happen to look at the game bench marks for Quad Core? The E6800 is FASTER than the QE6800! Why? Because hardly ANYTHING is written for Quad let alone Dual Core. The only software that I know of that will even maybe take advantage of it is Valve's Source and maybe Unreal Engine 3, but that is all speculation as of now. That's why Quads cost the same as Core2Duo!

I'm sure that would pretty much decimate any sort of record ever set by any machine. Great find dude.
