Acer has unveiled its Acer Predator Orion 9000 desktop for gamers. It is aimed at bringing high-performance computing to the desktop with 4-way graphics and 18-core processors to power virtual reality apps and more with ease — and with high-end 8K UltraHigh Definition images.

The company is the latest to go after gamers this fall, unveiling the new products at the IFA tech trade show in Berlin. The Predator Orion 9000 uses carbon fiber to keep its weight down, and it has tool-less side panels so you can upgrade the desktop easily. Dell, Asus, and others are all making their announcements at IFA or the PAX West game fan show as well.
