The newest element of this system, of course, is the graphics card. Please take a look at our review to see if it's up to giving the green team's G80 a run for its money.
The system features a compact watercooling system, enthusiast-oriented components such as abit's AB9 QuadGT motherboard, Corsair Dominator PC8500 memory, an 8-pin PCIe-bearing Cooler Master 850W PSU (although a 1kW model is pictured) and an overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3GHz.
It looks good, should be quiet and is scheduled to tip the financial scales at £1250, including VAT, sans monitor.
Being picky, we'd like to have seen the GPU and chipsets blocks watercooled, as well, but that would have necessitated a larger cooling kit.
We'll be taking an in-depth look at in the near future, so stay tuned.
This system is currently available to configure and buy right over here.
