Guys I sure what sets these PCs apart is that they will overclock multiple CPUs for a customer to get the maximum overclock possible. But still this is worth more like 10k at most.
 
zulutech- I also agree that building your own PC by yourself and knowing exactly how much pressure you exerted on each screw and the experiences you had building your rig are alot better than buying any rediculous computer no matter how much money you have. PC building is fun, these systems just throw a bunch of high-tech stuff at you I'd just rather build it myself.
 
I'd say this definately targets the "i'm rich and i'm gonna spend 20 G's thinking I'm gonna get a badass Gaming pc that will blow away your home built $5000 pc but really it won't because I don't really know what I'm buying, but it looks cool" crowd.

99.999% of the fools that think they could pull this off are completely blind. You have no idea how hard it is to even find the equipment to precision cut the alu and the craftsmen to repeatedly match the brush marks and still give a shit.

Whining about craftsmanship only proves you have no skill in even beginning to attempt anything close to this.

LOL, Wait one month to respond in hopes no one will see this thread... LOL

Seriously, insulting people is no way to win an argument.

I've seen tons of "MODS" that are much better then the few mods i've seen from this company. And yes, I do know how to hard it is, I've worked in quiet a few factories, body shops, a sign company, a circuitboard company, was a mechanic, remodeling homes, and build computers as a hobby, have worked on many projects, and it's not "$20,000" hard. Maybe if they used there teeth to bend the metal, that would be hard. Did they use there teeth?

Truthfully, anyone who watched OCC, Pimp my ride, or the numerous video's on youtube, with a little bit of patience, skill, little money in there pocket, and a few trips to menards, home depot, or autozone, could pull this off. I think your just under estimating peoples abilities.
 
By the way, you can buy a new car for under $20,000, or a custom old car with much more craftsman ship involved. I've seen many mods i'd rather spend 20,000 then the ones i've seen from this company.

Google it..
 
Nope.....
Mostly off the shelf parts, a few custom parts, but nothing I haven't seen anyone do before. $20,000!!!! >>>> Seriously?!?!
Some people don't make that in a year!!
Some cars cost less then that, and cars are far more sophisticated, take many more man hours to build, more materials, and yet, even some brand new cars are cheaper.
I've seen much better mods for far, far less. Big dip, they used a water jet to cut parts, you can get that done as a service, it's not that expensive to have someone do it. It's not like they are cnc'ing a motorcycle engine or anything.

I will admit, they look "nice", but most of the parts, you can buy, and i've seen plenty of custom mods that use the same parts, and the custom parts they make, just don't seem over the top to me. $4.99 for 1/2" rotary barb, $30.00 for some tubing, no clamps...... what does it cost for a cable service, like $200 bucks or something? A usb hub is like 20 bucks, 50 cents for the little cable clamp.... Flat black paint, like 10 bucks for some decent paint.. I just don't get it?

I mean, compare that, to these, then you "should" get my point:

I mean, seriously, when you spend that much on a pc, it shouldn't look like a modded emachine, it should look like something that came from another world, and it should either be able to play any game for the next 10 years, or be able to draw peoples attention for more then 4 minutes. Just saying.
