Pros? Cons? How much would it cost to build one like that? (I love the case, we have one at school and it looks fucking awesome in the light.)

Cooling system is prolly the most costly thing?

I'd say it's worth it if you're going to use it for what it's capable of doing

Core 2 extreme quad - $1200 (Factory clocked at 3.4ghz, you can EASILY clock a E6750 to 3.6 with a little extra cooling.)
Two 8800GT's - $600
500GB HD (no RAID, wtf? But it's capable...) - $100
2GB DDR2 1066mhz pc - 6400 - $not sure, around $120.
16X DVD burner - $30
Monitor - Doesnt come with one, what the fuck?
power supply - $150
680i chipset - $200

=$2500. keep in mind that i was OVERESTIMATING. This should run you at about $2100, around the same price of the computer that i'm building.


I could easily build you one that is more capable for a lower price.

Don't buy this, as you will be VERY upset at the fact that you wasted your money on such shit.


EDIT: added some shit, my bad.


ALSO: the nVidia boards are VERY unstable when trying to overclock so heavily, but then again you need it for SLI.


ALSO: how the fuck are you gonna push your 8800GT's if you cant even run DX10? This comp comes with XP media center edition... yea this is a waste of money. dont do it;

I don't plan on buying it, I make around $400 USD a month for now. I'll hold off on getting one built till I get an extra $1000 or so.

Anyway, cooling system it has in it. What's good/bad about it? Fucking massive. Neutral

lol STONE COLD. Yeah I believe it looks awesome. Heaviness as a con isn't that big of a difference unless it really is like 100 lb. Most comps have some kind of hefty weight to it, but it has real good performance specs. I say it's worth it

That case is pimp, but as others have said it's way overpriced.

Lol@ the phsyx card, I thought they gave up on that long ago.

Not worth it. The only reason why its priced that high because they are middlemen for the parts. If you bought the parts yourself, or direct, you probably could same a few thousands.

HAHAHAHA, that computer isn't shitty but it's NOT worth its price at all. And who gives a damn about the lighting? I care about whether the PC runs smoothly, and not whether I can change the light to x different colors.
