Well, if I can't think of anything smart and witty, I can fall back on Barker's second law: for every inaction, there is an equal and opposite excuse...

I do have to say, I really like the way the system looks. I'd be very interested to benchmark that puppy, O/C'ing it to it's limits on water cooling 😉.
 
Well I signed up and will finally plan on commenting .. maybe... I'm one of those that always lurks and reads everything but never posts.... dunno why ... 😛
 
I dont know if its smart and witty but if I won that PC my friends and family would really be knowing that Im smart and witty. I enjoy having newer computer stuff so that I can show what skills I have on computers. I havent upgraded in over 2 years on my PC which is getting old. Which is still a Champ in my familys book but not mine. Only thing I would be worried about is the Sata 3 Hard Drive. Well Keep me posted I hope im the winner.
 
That is a great looking machine. I have built a few very similar but they are never for me, maybe it is time to correct that problem.
 
I comment here today, not just to win a kick-ass system, but to continue the proud tradition of annoying all the other Tom's readers out there. Hi guys!

Oh yeah: Google sucks. Almost forgot to put that in!
 
kiss up to editors to win? I still stand that TOMS was way better 3-4 years ago .. and its miles off what it was in 2000-2003... last best article I read was the cooking oil rig.. that was epic!
 
That is an amazingly good computer for a giveaway.

- Great processor for overclocking
- Great cooling system for pushing the i940 to its limits
- Plenty of Ram & Hard Drive Space
- A kick @$$ video card

As Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear would say "More Power!!!"
 
I really enjoy the case layout on this build. I have been reviewing several types of cases within the past year and I'm working on a budget build that would be similar in nature to what is shown here. The airflow really unlocks the potential for generous overclocking and generally keeps excessive heat completely out of the case. The dissipation of heat naturally rising to the peak of the case is either drawn out the rear or pushed through the cooling systems radiator at the top of the case. This is really a choice presentation for a high end build. The appeal isn't overly gaudy, it's concealed with a few lights to accent the black tower's appearance, but the lights really don't show up until you remove the side panel. Very appealing for what I would imagine most gamer's and enthusiast builders. As far as components are concerned, I'm happy to see them use a reliable power supply by Thermaltake. I can't express how many problems I've had with other manufacturers. The x58 chipset combined with the I7 is clearly the standard right now in the high end market. Accompanied with plenty of RAM, and what appear to be two (2) Nvidia 460's, this build surely has plenty of horsepower to get the job done for most any enthusiast. I'm happy with the double layer burner, blu-ray would be nice in some capacity. I would prefer to see a RAID setup on this build, or possibly the infusion of a SSD accompanied by a HDD storage drive. Overall, this is the best build I've seen Cyberpower produce to date.
 
Not that I ever win anything but what the hell, right? Can't pass up an opportunity to get familiar with Intel hardware. That and I know someone who needs a new computer far more than I. Would love to see his face when I drop this on him and his family.
 
I've been unsure what kind of system to build. I'm still saving, little by little, until I make up my mind as to what parts I want/need.

To be honest, I'd much rather Tom's make that choice for me. :)

Oh, and contests are great, Tom's, thanks and congrats to who wins!
 
I'd love to have this thing, haven't had a decent gaming rig since my BFG 7800GTX OC blew up 3 years ago.

But then I'm afraid that even with water cooling, Fermi will set my house on fire.
