Yep, I built basically the same thing when the QX9650 was the top Quadcore, and the best and baddest components for about 3,500 including 28 inch widescreen and 5.1 speakers. So I spent about 1/3 what they want to soak your wallet for.

Really dude, build it yourself man! Besides if you've never done it before, it's a great education, and in the future you can build your own for a whole lot cheaper than a store shelf model.

Did you two even read any part of the text ?

Everything inside that case is immersed in 2.5 gals of liquid coolant.

The case is sealed.

Christmas gift for the gamer who's got everything???

I remember seeing a thing about this type of liquid years ago. It's non conductive for electricity, so it isn't going to fry you if it leaks. But at that cost, why not just buy an aircon for the computer itself???

The point of the thread is, how much can a rig get up in price.
