Chillblast Fusion Dominator review

While the Dominator may be a superb machine, the peripherals need to be up to scratch if the package, as a whole, is going to pass muster. Luckily, Chillblast has included one of our favourite monitors: the Dell 2408WFP with this package. It has long been a PC Pro favourite thanks to its superb colour reproduction, clarity and detail.

There's also a wealth of ports and sockets on the rear, including HDMI, two DVI-I ports and a DisplayPort output. There are even four USB sockets and a flash memory card reader on the monitor - handy, as there's not one on the main tower.

It's also worth noting that, while the system as reviewed includes no speakers, Chillblast offers several different sets - from basic Logitech S220 2.1 speakers, which cost an extra £5, to the Logitech Z-5500 (pictured), which will add a whopping £183 to your final bill - that can be added during the ordering process.

The big question is, however, does the Fusion dominate as its name suggests? It's a close-run thing, but we'd have to say yes. If you're after a rounded PC the Dominator could fit the bill. It boasts 2D performance that's up there with the best we've ever seen, and couples this with plenty of gaming potential and an excellent chassis.

It's cheaper than the Juggernaut, and has more storage, a better screen and more expansion potential than the Interceptor. And for that it wins a deserved recommended award.
