I'm wondering though,
Do Asus desktops come with their aftermarket ROG motherboards and DirectCU Graphics Card,
or do they use those cheap a$$ green colored mobo and reference cooled GPU , as in on the high end ones.

I don't think they will be.
It's not alienware

Lol, the case is aerodynamic. How incredibly useful.

I still want one though.

 

[hellfire24]

looks cool but too expensive IMHO.
home built FTW

"On top of the aerodynamic polygonal exterior that features an intricately designed chassis that transforms when the system is overclocked"

This is so sad, their selling point is plastic case that does transformers. I wonder who this product is aimed for.

It actually looks pretty decent with reasonable specs for the gamer that would prefer to go with pre-built.

GeForce GTX 690, is not a GPU, is it?

Do you prefer:
-a pair of GTX690 GPUs
-a GTX690 Graphics card
-a pair of downclocked full sized GK104
-a pair of GTX680s
-GTX590 GPUs

so same color of lights in 4 and 4.2? or did i misread it?

personally, i dont like the case, the looks i mean

 

[yobobjm]

Doesn't it kinda look like an acer predator? or is that just me.

When i was a teen/kid i wanted to build my own pc and if someone had a pc that looked like a strip club inside, he got laughed at.

You may have been an exception and not the rule.

 

[nekatreven]

I just want that case!

 

[fuzzion]

My air cooled i7 runs at 4ghz without the fancy case.

Doesn't Windows 7 not support trim on Raid 0?

And grown men who aren't too caught up in fashion to enjoy the simple things in life; I'm 28, and would love this case. They can keep the prebuilt system, but i would buy the case in a heartbeat....

I may look silly wearing some g930's, 3d vision classes, a mech5 kb, next to a transforming computer case, but i have always been one to overachieve; this includes my escapism.

...and there are folks that would rather drive a Shelby Mustang as opposed to an M3 (I'm not one of them). Nothing wrong that, just different tastes. However, I wonder if, in general the majority of the THG's 30+ readership would prefer a less toy-like enclosure. Different strokes I guess....

 

[dalethepcman]

If they don't offer a model with a K series CPU they will be sorely limiting their sales... There just aren't enough (any) games that can take advantage of 12 logical cores better than 8 logical cores. The performance difference for gaming (the target consumer for this system) between a 3770k and a 3960x is non existent but the price difference will buy you a radeon 6990/gtx 590.

Doesn't Windows 7 not support trim on Raid 0?

Actually that's the only OS it works on at the moment. It was Intel that needed to add support though, and they only did so very recently. AFAIK supporting it on the OS is pretty straightforward.

I'd never pick a X79 platform for my gaming PC.. Z77 FTW.

They come with ROG Rampage IV motherboards.

It comes with Rampage IV Formula MoBo and GTX 690 and 2133 MHz RAM and 2 128GB SATAIII SSDs in RAID 0 configuration with extra 2TB HDD for storage. You are correct about reference cooled GPU only, and I don't think that many people would like GTX 690 with anything but it's stock cooler, it is that much awesome looking. Everything is far beyond "those cheap a$$ green colored mobo and reference cooled GPU".
