Ok so, before i begin this review let me say this. this computer is so big it destroyed the top and bottom of my desk
![]() I have been waiting for a long time to get my hands on a awesome rig that i can call mine for years. i searched and searched until one day i got sick and was in the hospital for 3 months, i was approached by a corporation called make a wish and was offered to have any wish granted. and you can guess where this took a turn ![]() ![]() So here are some specs to give you an idea of where im standing: CPU: Intel Core i7 990x @ 4.0Ghz Video Card: 3x GTX 580 1.5GB RAM: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Chassis Model: Black OPS HailStorm Edition PSU: 1500W Silverstone MotherBoard: ASUS RAMPAGE III EXTREME HDD:1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache) Optical Drive: Blu-Ray Player/DVD Player Optical Drive 2:DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Cooling: H20: Stage 6: Sub-Zero LCS Dual Loop: CPU & Triple SLI/CrossFire Video Cards Display: 3x Triple Asus 3D Panels 23 inch VG236H (only 1 setup) Here are Some Pics: Issues upon opening: -Case cover plastic is chipped on inside. -Had SLI issues until i Tweaked and restored a few settings. -DAMN FedEx Took to long ![]() Overal Rating: A++++ Numbered score: 99.9998/100 (because of those small problems DS SCORE: 100/100 FedEx Score: BLEH! Overall Loved the computer Would totally if i ever get the money for it, would buy again. I have recommended to numerous friends that DS is in fact Pretty God Damn Awesome. Keep Up The good work guys. love to see more from you. Feel free to ask any questions if necessary [EDIT] If you were wondering why it says beat down review, that is because that is what i took the liberty of naming this PC Edited by ballinboi3546 - 31 Mar 2011 at 5:27pm |

Cool add me to your steam _fr3shm3at_
I have mw2 . Haven't played in in while, but rocked on it like I do at black ops. Beat plenty of wallers and botters. If your machine is faster than theirs and you move right most can't keep up. They hate me. Lolol Edited by FR3SHM3AT - 31 Mar 2011 at 8:48pm |

Wow, are those tubes black or blue? Could you retake close up pics? They're a bit blurry compared to rest. I might want to switch rigs.

I just thought about something... its been on my mind for a couple of days so i decided to investigate. and... i don't have any overclocked parts in my PC whatsoever. i find that very strange and has been on my mind for a couple of days. i also found that, i thought i ordered a liquid chilled system but, apparently i must of gotten a liquid cooled system instead somehow. these are minor gripes, but they are making me wonder why?

From what I know of based on the specs you listed, the system ordered was a liquid cooled unit, not a liquid chilled TEC system. That is what you have ordered. In addition, I'm not sure about the overclocks as I don't see the full receipt listed. Perhaps you can email me the serial number on the side of the system (right side panel) to: [email protected] so I can check. |
