Falcon Northwest can build you the sickest computer ever.
there better than most with toip quality componets and service.
Me I like to tinker, but if you don't have the time to do the research then go with these guys.
Obviously the entire thing is duplicated, but the flames were originally done by a reknowned airbrush artist named... shit. I forgot his name. Let me call my bro-in-law- he's got a ton of original crap from this guy...
Now why would Dell sell you a warranty-voided CPU straight-out-of-the-box, so to speak? Not to mention the serious liquid cooling you'd need for that thing. They DO supply liquid cooler with it... right?...
Sorry to be so negative, but I have only had bad experiences with water cooling.
Firstly, it doesn't cool the CPU temp down that much. I was rather unimpressed when I saw this. I was expecting sub-20 temperatures when installed on a AMD64 that normally ran at 28.
Secondly, somehow the waterblock cracked . Where the pipes clip into the waterblock, there was a tiny crack that formed. It wasn't like this when first installed. My company ended up having to buy the client a new ASUS 7800GTX because the warranty was voided.
Phase cooling, a much better idea.
I saw the pics of that Dell machine. I wouldn't at all mind having one of them beauties.
The thing with the CPU-warranty that's voided.
If Dell sells you a PC with an overclocked CPU, I'm sure they will give you a warranty on the system, including the CPU. This makes it a bonus, not a negative.
I find that buying a pre-assembled PC, for work especially, always ends up saving me time and money in the long run. When something goes wrong, and I don't have parts to play the 'swap till it works' game, I can take it back to them. Dell is a name I trust. Nice of them to bring out this monster system .
If you have 10G's to blow on a computer, do this:
Spend 4 now on whatever floats your boat, and then toss $500 (or less) at it every 6 months or so.
Trust me. In seven years, your rig will still be "sick", but your bank account will be quite healthy.
If you spend it all now, in five years I'll be able to buy your 10k, sick-ass rig on eBay for $187 shipped

ROFLMAO, sounds so much like one of those crappy pre-built water kits!
Your company deserved it for using such crappy water component.
