Do you have a question about the CCL Elite Kestrel Gaming System?

Q: will this computer play games like grand theft auto 4, prototype 2, battle field 3 on high settings? Also does it have a HDMI slot so I can set up my t.v as my monitor?
Answer by CCL on 7th May
Yes, the graphics card in this system has a HDMI. It should have no problem at all with GTA 4 or Prototype 2 as it exceeds their recommended spec. Battlefield 3 may require you to turn the settings down a little as it is the current high benchmark game, but will still run well. -Danlevan

Website User on 31st March
I'm happy with the build, very fast performance in my opinion, especially with windows 7 which I wasn't expecting. It might be a 500gb sata III inside but it's connected to a sata II board, so data transfer could be a little quicker - but still I've not noticed anything significantly affected by it just yet. Put another couple of fans in myself as wasn't sure about how well ventilated it is with just 1... to do this I did need to buy an adaptor though (couple of quid). Pretty quiet PC, loudest fan is the CPU fan. Put a second hard disk in myself with a fresh install of XP on and installing the drivers from the disks supplied was a doddle (was lucky to have an old PS/2 keyboard lying around). Overall, great product for the price, wouldn't be that much cheaper to have built it up myself, so the extra money paid is worth it for the hassle/mess/time saved building yourself.
