Falcon Northwest Announces Godlike Gaming PC’s In Compact Form.

June 27, 2012

I guess big things can come in small packages, at least Falcon Northwest intends to make us believe that, and believe I do. We at try to post about technology that is affordable to the everyday person but when I saw this product I simply had to write about it.

Falcon Northwest has launched a brand new micro tower PC by the name of ‘Tiki’, and Tiki stands a whopping 13” in height and 4” in width. Tiki technically should be called tiny but that’s just my opinion. The new mini PC is about the size of the original XBOX which in itself is pretty amazing considering all the ways you can customize it.

Now because Tiki can be fully customized to what the consumer wants I decided to list the default configuration listed on the website.

Tiki Features:

  • Full-metal construction: steel and sandblasted aluminum faceplate
  • The fastest 3rd Generation ® CoreTM i7 processors (Ivy Bridge)
  • ® GeForceTM GTX 6-series
  • Bays for 2 solid-state hard drives and a standard drive – up to 4 terabytes of storage
  • Slot-loading or DVD optical drive
  • Up-front USB 3.0 and audio ports
  • Internal 450 Watt
  • Up to 16GB of DDR3-1866 MHz memory
  • Completely customizable configurations
  • Liquid cooled CPU

* Available. Only 4 inches wide- 40% smaller than their FragBox!

Tikis will be custom built to order and begin shipping in early July. Pricing starts at under $1,900 for basic configurations and ranges to almost $5,000 for custom painted, fully-loaded builds.

    Which way should I go considering I don’t have anyone to teach me how to build a gaming rig so my broke ass can save some money? I’m only going with these because of the style and quality.

    I was planning on getting a Falcon Northwest Talon in the next year and I was wondering how much it costs to get a custom image.

    Operating systems set aside which is better? Also is the Mac Pro compatible with most hardware because most hard drives and hardware that is not directly connected to the motherboard runs off cords and the Mac Pro does not have any cords at all so can you use these parts with it?

    I’m looking for some more detailed information about the falcon northwest tlx laptop. It’s hard to find people who have one, maybe because of their cost.
    anyways,

    Does it run a liquid cooling system?
    How are the on board speakers?
    How many mp is the webcam?
    Suggestions/reviews of compatible spyware programs?

    Thanks

    Hey guys, I’m looking for a custom build pc company that has excellent prices and maybe some holiday deals or something. Places like falcon northwest and stuff.

    Thanks!

    On the website, I customized one (because they’re all made custom) and even with all the cheapest options it was almost $2000. But my cousin who bought his brand new on the internet only cost $800, he’s the one that actually told me about the falcon site and that their laptops are really good. He only got his a year ago. prices couldn’t have gone up THAT much in a year. Where can I get one cheaper, or is the cheapest I can get one actually almost $2000??

    Ive been looking at sites such as: Falcon Northwest, WidowPC, Ibuypower.com, overdrivepc.com, cyberpowerpc.com, and AlienWare. Any recommendations on which site to go through? Im trying to get a computer for around $2,000 or below, used mainly for online games such as World of Warcraft. If anybody would like to build me a computer on one of these online sites that would be awesome. Id like to play WoW on max settings, and have it run nice and smooth. Thanks.

    I’m planning on building my first pc and I know how to do everything except when it comes to the cpu and the motherboard. I know how to put it on and take it off, etc. but the only thing that I’m not quite sure of is what happens after you put everything together?

    My friend told me that you have to do something with the bios, is that true? And what do you have to change on the bios if you do? Thanks you for answering in advance.

    I need 5 items in a CPU that will determine the production ability of a microprocessor (that make the CPU more productive). I don’t what I have is correct but I have
    Operating system
    Clock rate
    ROM chip

    How do I fix my computer, the CPU is using 100% with only publisher running and everything is extremely slow.

    I could add a seperate video card, but need to upgrade power supply too. So instead Im buying a new cpu. Now the question is how to recover what is on the old hard drive…docs., photos, video and more. Can I connect the old cpu to my new one and drag everything over? What is the best way to accomplish this task?

    I tried searching, but i need alittle bit more help. My mother board is a ECS model K7S7AG V 1.5A. The Socket model for any cpu is socket A(462). My current cpu is an AMD Athlon Xp and i would like to know and eventually upgrade.

    Please and thank you.

    I want to upgrade my motherboard & CPU. If I purchase a combo MB + CPU, are there any other considerations I must make before my purchase apart from that I have a PC tower case? Once these are changed, won’t all the other internal components just plug into place & work? I am not a gamer, just web browsing & basic stuff.

    The CPU fan on my HP Pavilion dv7 laptop is shot. It’s an AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile RM-70 CPU. I’ve found a few CPU fans for sale on Amazon, but nothing says exactly what CPU it it fits. Where can I find a quality replacement fan online that I know will fit? Someone must carry them and list them by computer model or CPU model or something, right?

    I am planning to build a new computer but keeping the same HD, CD drive and cpu. Will my old cpu (Pentium D 2.8ghz duel core) in my dell xps 400 work with my new computer?
