[citation][nom]dco[/nom]Looks like crap but what beast of a machine[/citation]
i hate its look too, but i love the cooling this thing can get.
that said, i SO wish that nvidia and ati would make mirror cards. that way i can have it face up or face down, in my pc, my video card is right on top of another card that hampers its airflow. if i had a mirror card i could get air from the top.
[citation][nom]gti88[/nom]For $9500 (basic price for this thing), I could design and build 5 cases that look better.[/citation]
Considering the components for the base configuration will run you $3500 at the absolute cheapest. I'd like to see you build 5 of them for $9500. I'll be the first in line to buy from you.
bahaha, i forsee alot of insurance claims during shipment to customers. Honestly, i would never in my mind fork up 9500 just cause of a art-inspired case. Not my cup of tea.. That open design has catastrophe written all over it.
art? wow i should take the body off my truck and call it art! it looks like a cat after it gets soaked, terrible! speaking of cats, i am going to laugh when their cat/dog gets it's tail caught in the fans and the result will be an animal with a mutilated tail/ear shredded and the cpu fries. this thing should be hung from the ceiling like a model air plane where nobody could stick their fingers in a fan or fry their foot or hand or spill a drink on it. looks like the future of the electric chairs, only to darwins test subjects.
where is the power cord, ports and other peripherial connections?
who wants to bet if it's running mac os x ?
one of the ugliest thing i have ever seen. do not call something "art" because someone says it is, art is all in the eye of the beholder, and this thing is just atrocious.
Apart from being a dust magnet - it's a dumb design - these guys need to take a look at Silverstone, motherboard should be upside down for a graphics card setup like that. (patented?)
Just buy this for $2,899 directly from the company that makes the case!
