There are so several big releases coming to the gaming entire world in the following few a long time that quite a few gamers are getting to be confused and starting to wonder if they are going to be capable to get a console gaming system in the long run that has a remote handle at all. The fast solution to this is yes, the authentic question is what that remote will glimpse like and how it will interact with the gaming console. Hardcore video games will by no means give up the remote control absolutely mainly because it presents way to very much precision and management that cannot be in comparison to any motion based process controls at this stage in time.

The x3200 is a good machine, also includes two high-speed PCI Express 2.0 x8, one PCI Express x4 (dedicated to the RAID controller), and two PCI X slots, all full-length and standard height.

Barry- I saw your comment-(pasted below)-
I just picked up one of these systems today and am having the exact same problems. How did yours get resolved? Was it defective? Did you get it fixed? Thanks in advance!

“Just got one of these, and canâ€™t get it to start up on the initial setup.

Iâ€™m 99% sure its a defective unit, but figured Iâ€™d post to see if anyone has any suggestions before I pack it all back up to go for an exchange.

Hereâ€™s the behavior:
1) When powered up, the heavy duty fan spins up immediately and the whole unit is extremely loud
2) Monitor (just the VGA connection in place) shows no signal and goes to sleep â€” never see any sign of BIOS running or any other on-screen indication
3) Never see any indication on the keyboard that it looks to be up & running (caps lock/other LEDs not lighting up)

Looks like a nice little unit from a packaging/price point vs capability standpoint, but Iâ€™m of course disappointed to have what looks to be little more than a boat anchor at this time.

Any one out there know anything obvious I might be missing? Iâ€™ve set up hundreds of computers and am stumped, just want to see if anyone has any ideas before I go for an exchange (none are currently in stock in any area stores, and the Acer repair service route is a 10+ day turnaroundâ€¦)”

I decided to try getting extentions for all the power connections in this computer and run them outside and hook the thing up to a 500 watt PS and leave the stock ps in as a paper weight.
that way I can sli the graphics and make this a gamer as well as a media machine.

I have been following this thread whilst trying to install XP into a Acer X3200. After several frustrating attempts and still getting the BSOD I have finally found the answer.

Apart from either integrating the sata drivers into an XP Cd or using an external floppy and the F6 method you MUST do the following:

Go to the Acer site and download the AcerAppFix (also listed as Acer Preload Security Patch for Windows XP) from the utilities section – link below

://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/utilities.html

This must be installed via the existing Vista Operating system before you make any attempt to install XP.

After this XP will install as normal – but, as above, do not forget the sataraid drivers – they must go in one way or the other. If you need the drivers then let me know.

Hey there.

I’ve had my x1200 for a while now sitting in a box until I could get my home theater up and running. LIke most people, I have an audio issue.
I”m only using my HDMI to run to a projector and am forced to use the analog outs to get sound to my stereo receiver. HOwever, only the L/R channels (green jack) work. None of the other jacks output any sound. I”ve installed new nvidia AND realtek drivers and selected the analog speaker in realtek’s audio wizard but no dice.
I do a system audio test and nothing.
Help?

I am considering buying the Acer Aspire AX1200-B1581A, the price is excellent, but i do have some questions. Is it a good family computer for music, and photo’s? Gaming isnt an issue.. and if i do buy it, what do you recommend for a wireless adapter (i would prefer usb)
