Over the next few days at Computex in Taipei, Foxconn will be releasing a "LAN party console station" machine that perhaps has more gaming potential than anything ever released, around the same size.

Its called the Quantum Force Denube, and its an absolute beast of a PC. In a sense, it is four PC's fitted into one case. The general idea is that its a portable party: you hook up four monitors to the Denube, and you and three friends are ready to get their game on in a big way.

Get a load of these specifications: you have four Foxconn mobo's running with four E8500 CPUs (at 3.16 GHz). Each sub-system has 3GB of DDR3 memory, and GPU power is supplied by four Foxconn GeForce 8800GTs, OC. All the power requirements are met by a single 1200W PSU.

According to VR-Zone, this insanity machine is only a bit larger than a normal ATX case, does not overheat, and is very quiet.

Presumably the market for this kind of device is about as small as the Denube is large. But I could see someone starting a LAN cafe perhaps thinking that the Denube is a good way to go. Or perhaps professional gaming organizations might see this as easier way to quickly setup a veritable gaming orgy. The key will be the price -- which has not yet been announced. If this rig costs significantly more than four budget gaming PC's, then it probably won't do so well. If it sells for less than four budget gaming PC's, then who knows, this product could lead the way into some new market territory.
