Testimonials

Customer Testimonials & Reviews

Read what Rain Customers think about their Solstice workstation:

"I have to say I've had no problems at all with it, despite hitting it with some of the biggest mix projects I've ever had to deal with. It's great to have a machine with this kind of horsepower, because it allows me to choose the most appropriate plug-ins for the mix job at hand, without having to make quality compromises to conserve CPU horsepower, and there are Mix Rescue challenges I can now take on that would have been unthinkable on my previous setup."

–Mike Senior

"Wow! The computer has exceeded my expectations. - I drive a silver Porsche Boxster S on the weekends- I'm all about looks. This computer has the LOOK. It's classy and perfect for my home recordings... Thank you!!!"

Under the hood is a dizzying array of technology brought together in a symphony of gigahertz and terabytes for a single purpose: to tear the heart out of every opponent on your screen.

Looks that kill

Switch it on and feast your eyes on a visual experience nothing short amazing, courtesy of up to two ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics engines in Crossfire mode. And if ATI Radeon is the heart of Solstice, then it's brain is the massive power of a next generation Quad Core 9850 Black Edition by AMD. But what good is all that if your drive can't keep up? Good thing you'll never have to find out. Solstice Spider Edition comes standard with a 1 Terabyte RAID-0 array gaming drive backed up by 4GB of RAM and a high-speed optical drive. Whoever said money can't buy happiness was lying. It's time to find out what gaming really is - starting at just $2799
