It must be a daunting experience setting up a small company to manufacture PCs aimed at enthusiasts, after all you are entering a marketplace featuring well established companies such as Dell/Alienware and Voodoo PC, who all have decent reputations for building high end systems at competitive prices. Regardless of the scale of this undertaking that is exactly what Uberclok are doing.

A small company based in Chicago with five employees, Uberclok are specialising in pre-overclocked systems for consumers who want mainstream components with ultimate performance. There are currently two models in the Uberclok range, the Ion and the Reaktor. The Ion starts at $1660, the Reaktor at $2500, each with numerous configurations to take the system as high in performance as possible. Today we have a Reaktor system on our test bench configured at a cost of around $3600.
