HCL has earned itself a good name in enterprise solution development. Though, it's not a major into retail distribution of PC, it has built some of the most cost effective PCs. Today, it is targeting a new segment, i.e. gaming. Gaming PC originated in US with companies such as Alienware and Voodoo specializing in making high performance PCs. None of such companies still have a presence in India, due to low demand for their products. This is where HCL seems to be an entrant fishing for upcoming opportunities.
The HCL Beanstalk Game Master Ultimate PC has been designed to be feature-rich as well as one giving high performance. Equipped with the fastest processor from Intel, Core 2 Extreme 6800, 2 x NVIDIA Geforce 7900GT GPUs in SLI mode, 2 * 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM on a Nvidia nForce 590i chipset platform, it is easily speculated that this is one hell of a PC configuration. While, some people may argue that it could have gone for a better graphic card, the 7900 GT has been installed with a purpose. As aforementioned, this is also supposed to be a feature-rich PC. Hence, they have included a modem, TV tuner card, game port, various card readers, etc. All this could not have possibly been included had they opted for a powerful graphic card that will occupy two slots at the back and also cover certain PCI slots leaving them useless.
The HCL Beanstalk Game Master Ultimate PC comes in a complete package with a 19" WS TFT LCD monitor, Multimedia keyboard, speakers, remote, headphones with mic, etc. But, we just received the main component, i.e. the core components inside the sexy looking cabinet. So, our review will be limited only to the core components, but at the end of the day, these things make up for major cost of the machine.

you bloody Illiterate dumbf***s know nothing although the price is quite high <the processor should not be that fast and 4 gb sd ram and a blue ray burner which would satisfy both great storage capabilities and fast machine graphics should have being Nvidia 8800 GTX and and the latest intel motherboard would make it rocking and two 300 gb Hard drives and Viewsonic 20 " lcd or Dell's awesome 22' or the top of the line from samsung and benq 24"

Guys go to the nearest shop and have a look on it . Its like frustrated people are commenting on this product. Thats why Indian people never shine , always think negative and think some one is cheating as we do it ourself.

Decent enough PC,,but as always is the case with Indian system sellers.They always skimp on something. Only 1GB RAM??? With Windows Vista just 2 months away this PC will be obsolete in 2 months. Atleast they should have given 2GB RAM. and 160GB is sorely inadequate. As always,,a knowledged buyer can make an assembled system much better than this.

" 2 * 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM on a Nvidia nForce 590i chipset platform," <----- it says 2 * 1 GB ram modules... thats a total of 2 GB... have to agree that the HDD is inadequate tho... and of course one can anyday assemble a better comp than this beauty.
Branded nd loaded but tooo expensive..... Assembled once with hyper Mother Board's,Coolling Sysetm's,Duo core processor.... nd the Physced out Graphic card.... would actuallly within a possible 90 grand

Atleast they should have given 2GB RAM with a DX10 compliant GeForce 8800. and 160GB is sorely inadequate. As always,,a knowledged buyer can make an assembled system much better than this.

Very nice step for ppl who wanna buy gaming pcs but dont wann get it assembled .way to go,dx 10 would only make this more expensive,the costing of video cards in india never seem to go down even when its too old.still @ 149000,this is pretty expensive,but every way worth it.u cant get these parts so easily + they are always expensive bcoz of low sales.

this might seem bit off track but something "someone from somewhere" said that really caught my attention..why wont the price of video cards go down like the rest of the components???!!?? or does it...? do you guys want to start a thread about great cards whose price have gone down amking it more affordable? i think its an eligible topic? please comment
In typical Punjabi i would say-Desi Baandri Valaiti Cheekaan Marey!!(Indian singer trying to emulate a foreign Pop Artist!).This is what HCL stands for.HCL doesn't sell-or is not able to sell PC's in US or other developed countries,so in desperation is trying to do it in the 3rd world indian market, where a Super PC can be assembled with less than 1/3 rd of this PC's price.HCL people think they are equivalent to DELL,USA!!!

well it is good but...
Equipped with the fastest processor from Intel, Core 2 Extreme 6800, 2 x NVIDIA Geforce 7900GT GPUs in SLI mode, 2 * 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM on a Nvidia nForce 590i chipset platform
....only DDR2 for graphic and 667MHz RAM.
it is too bad they did not have atleast DDR3
1 GHz RAM or the latest of GPU from nVIDIA
