BFGTech has announced that it will be leaving the graphics card market behind. The reason for leaving the market the company was once so influential in is simple — profits. BFG states that the category is no longer profitable.

However, BFG will continue to support the warranty and service video cards it has sold and will continue to make computer systems and power supplies for the enthusiast and gaming markets. It’s sad to see the company leave the graphics market, it was among the best brands out there.

They’re paired with a choice of Intel Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processors, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and three drive bays allowing for up to 1.5TB of HDD storage and optional RAID.  Since there’s plenty of space BFG have also slotted in a Blu-ray drive, 5.1 speaker system (including a subwoofer), HDMI and DVI ports.

There’s also WiFi b/g, gigabit ethernet, Bluetooth 2.1 and more ports than an Adamo XPS could dream of; OS is Windows 7.  The Deimos X-10 is available to preorder now, starting at $1,859.
