BEAST, founded in 2005, was formed with the idea of creating a trusted identity that could be relied upon for gaming and also providing great support. Describing their computers as 'beasts' instead of just a rig, the company clearly has faith in their products using only the highest quality of components.

Today, we have one such beast here to take for a spin; the Breed Evo. It uses the new Intel i7/LGA1366 platform and incorporates a GTX 295, water-cooling, 1600MHZ DDR3 memory and a D0 stepping of the i7 920 processor. This along with all the other specifications make for impressive reading but can the Breed Evo produce a beast of a performance to warrant the high price tag and fend off the challenge of my own custom i7 rig? Let's see what happens.
