I want one of these. This thing looks sweet as honey lol!

I am sure most of you have already seen this, but I just seen it a little bit ago and had to post it.

i've seen it before, but i never noticed the GRAPHS before!!!!!!!!

you need some FANS in that case ya fool... it's almost worse than stock cooling... 65*C cpu, 62*C nb?????

what the heck? that's an expensive sack of ship i tell ya

yea after reading that, i was thinking what the heck, running stable at those temps? low maintance? they must mean that the only thing that you have to replace are overheated cpu's lol

hmm, wonder how long a prescott would last in that case...

probably under 60 seconds lol....I just thought the setup idea was really neat.

It would be fun to rig it up so once your prescott was fried you hear a nice "ding".

Acctually that case is used for the VooDoo Rage:50 check it here

Guess ya dont need any fans. I'd feel better with some cooling too though.

For $1200 it could be yours! lol

oh the one I priced on voodoo was $5,000.00 lol. I guess I have expensive taste haha.

I think you can break $5k on an Alienware or a Falcon easily too.
It's fun to dream isn't it? :sigh: Some day I'll have the $$ for a sys like that.

Oh well, untill then,

omg $1200 for a thing that runs at 65C. There is no way i would put that heat on my cpu. A prescott would last about a minute in that.

i think i made one about $9000 on alienware or falcon or something...

seriously, if i spent that much money on a pre-built i'd have to kick my own arse!

lol @ NRG! sadly enough if you build it yourself a $5k system becomes a $3k system. man those kinda places are really ripping people off. lol

First they rip you off by about $1k, and second you don't get any satisfaction from building it yourself. The only thing good about the high performance pre-builts is the warranty. But hey, most of us void the warranty on every single peice of hardware within 5 minutes of owning it right?

well even when you build it yourself the manufacture warranty is still pretty good for me.

all the prescott would do is down clock its self until it got to 100c and thermal throttle would shut it down so it wouldnt burn out

i'd use that kinda money (if i nad it) to design and build my own case. screw them.

ya it pisses me off that people are systematicly sucked into the "bling bling" of what these companies offer as "top of the line" just because they add a huge @$$ price tag to the machine.

granted alienware has made some revalations in the pc industry by modifying the actual motherboards (ie exchangable laptop graphix) and other lesser manufacturers have put a desktop on just about everybodys desk that couldnt afford one 5 years ago.

but ive gotten curious bout why these puters have cost as much as they do - your buying the "name" sadly

i went to dell.com and customized their top of the line puter - cost like 3700 bucks - i went to tigerdirect.com and built a moch of the same puter for only 2500, i then went to alienware.com and built one there - (being most expencive is top of the line) i customized one and came up with a grand total of 12800!!!!! anyone that spends friggin almost 13 grand on a puter needs to be drug out into the street and shot dead after having their toes removed and given to a third world country for currency- and since alienware uses hush hush tech - it was hard to 'rebuild' alienwares pc other than the harddrives and the graphix blablabla




yup^^^^^ more proof to why i smack everyone in the face with INTeL hardware and laugh at their "affordable" choice

and as always A.M.D. stands for Almost Might Do-it

PS: - i just customized the voodoo machine how i would want it and it comes to a grand total of $9704.36
