[citation][nom]Ipwnnubletz[/nom]Mac is better.[/citation]

Macs are great doing processing pictures, movies, animations, adobe stuff, and etc. There are so many games that are made for the pc though. For one thing you are limited to on a Mac is the compatible hardware you can swap out if one dies. If my graphics card had died, i would be limited to what the Mac has to offer as would the PC, your windows would be wide open to options.
Macs do have their advantage though when it comes to processing pictures. You could agree with me that the monitors that the Macs produce are so stunning and beautiful.
 
An 800w power supply? A sweet rig like that is gonna be powered by some generic PSU? At least make it black-or better yet don't include it at all.
 
No witty comment, but here is a dark story instead, enjoy:

The post card the group picked was a forest scene. There's grass, it
kindof looks like the top of a hill, tall trees, a boy is curled up on the
ground, there are these red birds that turn into leaves that originate
behind the boy. The red color becomes stronger as it goes up into the sky.
This is my story:
Tommy had gotten away from the bad man. The bad man who started out good
when Mom brought him home from work-she's a dancer at the strip joint on
the bad side of town. Mom seemed happy when she came home with the man; it
certainty sounded like it twenty minutes later, after Tommy was in bed,
his head against the same wall that his mother's head was on, on the other
side of the wall.
He could hear her laugh softly, telling the man where to put his things,
purring, the sound of people climbing onto the bed, the headboard hitting
the wall and the mattress bouncing. More soft giggles. The sound of lips
touching lips. Then the moans, more mattress bouncing, the headboard
hitting the wall. Tommy tries to sleep. Then the man and Mom crying out in
pleasure together. Silence. Finally sleep. For how long he doesn't know.
The sound of pleading, whimpers, cries. One giant crack, the sound of
flesh running into flesh and the crunch of bone. She cries out, "Stop!"
Is that sheets ripping? Why would they rip the sheets Tommy questions. Is
Mom hurt?
All sorts of sounds, loud and fast. Running feet, the mattress bouncing,
the headboard smacking, more running feet, quick shadows passing
underneath his door, his mother screaming and crying for mercy, low
responses from the man-he can't make them out.
He gets out of bed. Opens the door of his room. Blood droplets in the
hallway. He goes to the kitchen. More blood. Lots of it. His mother's
blood.
Then everything happens quickly;it's all a blur. Blood and screams and his
mother dead; killed by the man she brought home, by the man on the other
side of the wall, in his mother's bed.
The man goes after him. He feels pain in his stomach. He twists away. More
pain in his back. But he wrenches away again. He's running, hard, fast.
Running out the back door, into Mr. Johnson's tomato plants, crushing them
underfoot.
He hears the man breathing right behind; his fingers clawing at his night
shirt. Tommy runs faster, despite the cold spilling down his shirt and
pants. He runs until the man gives up, but Tommy doesn't stop.
He runs into Mr. Johnson's orchard on the hill. And collapses onto the
ground. He's too tired to go any further. His body feels cold all over.
Cold and wet.
He sees the blood for the first time. Is it his mother's blood? But, how?
He never even got close to her.
Tommy is tired.
He closes his eyes to sleep.
The end.

I just gave you a thumbs up, HA! Wait...were you trying to trick me? Nooo...! =P
 
i guess the only way to make this gamming rig anybetter is to have a farraday's cage built around it. and have some tesla coil's firing off, while playing iron man.
 
[citation][nom]xnashx[/nom]I believe it's a 800watts. The specs are right above the pictures.[/citation]
I think CyberPower/Tom's just used pictures they already had of the Viper system, especially showing off the cool case.
 
Wildfox, I'm pretty sure I saw tests on this very site that basically showed a minor gain in performance, and certainly not enough of a gain to warrant the extra cost. If anything, there could be a 20 Gig SSD boot drive, but that would still add $150 to the cost, and for the cost, I'd rather have a better graphics card.
 
Fall and Winter are rapidly approaching here in Michigan, and with it come very very cold temperature. By chance does this gaming rig come with HVAC hookups for my home heating system? By the specs, I can imagine this rig would do well to heat my home on these cold winter nights, and I could certainly use the extra warmth! :)
 
I would love to have this PC for FFXIV. My current PC will be able to run it with low settings until I can save money to build a new one.
 
The system lights would match the color of something else that's blue I've had since my girlfriend dumped me for playing "too much" Star Craft II.

Haiku for the win

Smart, witty

How low must I go
 
Great System definitely getting some manufacturers out there! but no SSD drive? All that system and to be bottle necked high end without SSD Although for a free system I can't complain guess I'd just need to buy one myself :)
 
man, my comment is way back here on page one million-something..Tom's probably won't even see this post, but boy would it be nice if they did!

hopin to get rid of this old Pentium 3 im still workin off of (thanks dad) ..incomes are hard for me when i'm still in school learning, and no good job to work for.

Seriously, this i7 rig would help me so so much for college. But man, its just like playing the lottery: you enter to win, but never do. A strand of hope? possibly, but doubtful :/
 
I just finished building a new system for my fiancée.

The good news: it works brilliantly and she's pleased as punch.

The bad news: her computer is now faster, more powerful, and shinier than mine.

I've been keeping up a brave, magnanimous front so far, but the façade is about to crack. Civilization V comes out in just three weeks. Her new machine will be able to run it. Mine will not.

Will I suffer a Civ-less fate in silence? Will envy and despair steadily eat away at me until I am left a shell of my former self? Will I jeopardize domestic tranquility by shoving her aside and hogging the computer, promising "just one more turn" deep into the night?

I'd solve the problem by building a shiny new system for myself, but I'm desperately short of spare time, energy, and money. Only Tom's Hardware can save me now.
 
5 years ago I moved to US and started to work hard as a ... dish washer :) After a hard summer, I had some money and decided to build a "rig". I had no idea about hardware so I asked a good friend what components should I pick, and he said I should study 1st about hardware on tomshardware.com and than to pick by myself according to my needs. After about 3 weeks of research, I build my 1st PC and I was so proud of it and thankful to you guys for teaching me all this cool stuff. Now, most of my friends ask me 1st what to buy when they are shopping for computer hardware. :) I would love to win this PC since my old PC is gone and my old laptop its pretty slow to play new games or for CAD software.
 
if you live outside of the U.S. and know someone who's willing to receive the system for you and ship it to you after the fact, you're more than welcome to participate .... nice one Toms Hardware :)

 
A Amazing computer!
A Azza Hurricane case, I've personally always loved Azza.
I keep buying the 650 Watt Dynamo Power supply off of Newegg.
Just cause of how reliable it is.

Then a New I7 core at 2.93 Ghz, for incredibly fast processing speed.
That's just adding to the level of greatness to this product not to mention the
6 gigs of memory for extra comfort when it comes to using your programs.

The 12 in 1 card reader, add's another bonus for all those people, that love photography.
as well as make a suitable place to use Readyboot if any of the memory cards can
Use that feature, although with a computer that powerful who needs ready boost?
The 1 terabyte for amazing storage as well as speed at 7200 rpm's with a 64mb cache.
Is just screaming fast, and also reliable,.

But lets not forget about the Nividia GTX 460, with amazing graphical power.
And ability to play practically every game on the market flawlessly, then you got the bonus
Of having a Gigabyte motherboard, and Lan connection which is one of the motherboards.
I mainly use due to how good the company is.

Now only with there products but costumer support.
I remember my first computer was a Gigabyte and it lasted me a good 6 years!
All running from a 800 Watt Power supply so everything will be all set.
Not only with "POWER" but also in needing "POWER".
This computer is basically set!

The Optical mouse also is a bonus simple, sleek elegant, no one can really kill.
The Classic Mouse.

And with Windows 7 home premium, 64x Edition, and a 24X speed DVD player / burner.
You are basically universally set with this computer.

Weather you be in Web Design, Gaming, Photography.
Its a All around Versed computer, that can handle even the most extreme conditions.
Sense it has a Liquid cooling system.

Its just simply Epic Win in a box!
Anyone who win's this is going to be incredibly lucky!


:O....
I kinda want it now....
