    I'm building a system that outclasses this with a Cooler Master ATCS 840 case.... for hundreds less. It's a novel design and if the customer care is good it may be worth it. But I can make mine with 23" Samsung monitor and premium mouse and keyboard for just over 3k... where as all that would run you closer to 4k with this system. It does look bad ass though :) #maingear

    Judging by the logos on the inside of the 5.25" drive bays that case is designed by Silverstone. Silverstone has also introduced cases with the vertical motherboard tray to it isn't that far of a stretch. The case alone is probably worth around $200.

    The watercooling isn't anything special and you can get a similar corsair watercooling system for less than $70. #maingear

    Wait. Am I getting this right? A custom gaming PC maker is focusing on making actual PCs with a clean aesthetic and not clunky, garish things that look more like they belong in a ricer's garage than a workspace? This, after a Wii accessory in the likeness of a baby doll comes out?

    Times are a' changin' indeed. #maingear

    That case is awesome, I wish more computers came with aluminium/metal cases instead of boring plastic. But if it's going to over inflates the price by $1000, then I think I'll pass...thank you #maingear

    I don't get why people BUY custom PCs, the fun part is getting all those parts in the mail and putting it together yourself and paying as little as humanly possible for the absolute most performance.

    If i wanted a pre-built a desktop I'd buy a mac. #maingear

    @Jesustron: What you don't get is that most people aren't computer techs or know anything about the inside of a computer. And they should not have to know about what is inside the computer no more than you should know how to work on a car to drive it. Computers are used as appliances to check email, entertain people, browse the web, be productive, etc ... Period. For some of us, knowing everything about a computer is what we like to do. It doesn't make us better and it doesn't make the main stream public stupid. #maingear

    @Christopher Cox: And what you don't get is that 99% of the targeted demographic wouldn't even give two hoots about buying a pre-built rig because they already know better. This rig is NOT meant for casual use. If you buy this solely to check e-mail and browse the tubes then you are a gigantic boob.

    This is the modern-day equivalent of going to your parents and asking for a pony and getting a rocking horse. They'll jokingly consider it until they see how much it really costs and after picking their jaws up off the floor go get a PC-in-a-box from best buy.

    Impressive? Yes. Cost effective? Not so much. #maingear

    we are going to need a new troll benchmark pretty soon. the whole "crysis blah, blah, blah" will soon become completely obsolete.


    i guess this will give me a reason to give me parents my old lappie and buy myself a new one.


    i do hate how it goes from 16 cores to 96. i am assuming manufacturers are going to tout the new nVidia 200 line, but stick you with the cheapo 210M

    It all started to go wrong when certain programs required a VGA card to be on a VESA bus...


    Then you had to have the right proprietary mix and match of parts to play games you wanted until... about DirectX 5 since the earlier ones were kinda brutal and crash-prone.


    This often meant a Sound Blaster sound card and a 3dfx video card, otherwise your games like MechWarrior 2, Tomb Raider, or Carmageddon wouldn't be 3D accelerated at all, and you couldn't guarantee you'd have sound effects.

    I remember every one of those cards. Clearly the Voodoo revolutionized 3D acceleration.


    Now, let's talk about sound cards. Anyone remember the AdLib synthesizer on a card?

    @FrankenPC: I remember that, and Roland-something or other. But really, Soundblaster was the one that made the most difference. It let the computer play actual sound clips, not just synthesized sounds. Pew pew pew!

    In reply to Giz Explains: GPGPU Computing, and Why It'll Melt Your Face Off
    Matt, you get my eternal gratitude for starting the article mentioning the Amiga as the start of graphics co-processors. It is exciting to have a platform that will help blaze the way on finding solutions to our multi-processor problems. While it might be much easier to split up a graphics task into a million simultaneous pieces, the mother-lode will be to find that same process for all programming, and I have no doubt there are more than a few minds working on that problem right now.
