Dell has a quad GPU 7800 GTX 512 system coming out soon... it has an awesome flame job on the side of it. Here's a link:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/200601051535...
Stats on the system:
Dual WD 150GB Raptors in RAID 0
4x 7800 GTX 512 cards
Pentium D 955 overclocked to 4.2Ghz
2GB of memory
Price is expected to be $7,000 I think.

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...
EDIT: here you go: http://www.killerpaint.com/flash/killerpaint_flash_inde...
His name is Mike Lavallee and his work has been on American Chopper, Monster Garage, etc. He's pretty much the best flame job artist in the world.
My brother in law has entire refridgerator flamed by this dude.

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 :twisted:

Solid state storage baby. Thats the ONLY way i can seen spending 10 grand on a gaming machine (excluding monitor and fancy cooling).

Cooling setups need to be done right, whether you use good equipment, great equipment, or a lonely pos. That's why companies like Voodoo, etc. manage to sell at ridiculous prices - there aren't that many people around who can put together a water cooling/phase cooling/pos cooling system well, and its not something you can read a manual and get right the first time.
