* On the PC, they've done a great job of making everything accessible
* Each port (USB, Ethernet, display etc.) Is on top of the case and this makes it easy to plug things in since this beast will be on the floor most of the time
* It has two hot swappable hard drives on the back
* The side of the case pops off for easy access to the radiator
* There's even a BIOS reset switch and CMOS battery on top
* If you want to add more RAM or an extra video card on to the motherboard itself you'll have to unscrew a bunch of screws and disconnect most of the power and SATA cables just to get it ready to lift out
* You then pull it up and watch for dripping; the substance is sort of like a mineral oil, so it's kind of messy
* Getting in and making changes is definitely tough, but we think the payoff is worth it
* It is hands down the fastest PC we’ve seen
* We overclocked everything pretty conservatively and in our 3DMark Vantage tests it scored 26,400 points, making it the most powerful computer ever on AOTS
* Games like Call of Duty: World at War look unbelievable with every single setting maxed out
* In short, you won't be disappointed
* If you want an incredibly fast and unique gaming rig (and have the money), this is the one to get
* You can get better specs on a budget, but overclocking won't be as stable

budzosOlivia Munn is the hottest woman on television, for my money. That case is pretty sexy but mineral oil is overkill for even the most hardcore. Air cooling has come a long way in the past five years.
BreaksTheEarthHow about Olivia Munn in mineral oil? Where's that vid?
cyberscythesays...All those sifters searching for the tags "pr0n", "fluid", and "HOLY JESUS" are going to be disappointed.
quantumushroomIt's still not powerful enough to run Vista.

It's still not powerful enough to run Vista.
Crysis too.
Ornthoron...and yet all the games that could justify investing in this monster are still boring as hell.
PsychologicUnfortunately there isn't much difference between that thing running at stock speeds vs overclocked speeds (other than benchmark numbers). Once the framerate stops dropping below the refresh rate then there isn't anything to gain from higher clock speeds.
Besides, it is rare for an overclock to be limited by temp anymore.
My main two questions about it are:
1. How quiet is it under full load?
2. What temp does the liquid top out at with extended 100% load sessions?
Very cool item from a physics standpoint, but it isn't really an improvement over the same hardware in a properly air-cooled box. (unless they're chilling the liquid significantly perhaps)
FlowersInHisHairMore interesting than the PC is the presenting style. These guys are great TV.
