    My Dream PC

    This rig costs £4,779.15.


    Personal Computers - Gravistar CoolFlow X2

    Winner of the coveted CustomPC Dream PC 2005 Award, the Armari Gravistar CoolFlow X2 delivers exceptional performance using its unique chilled liquid cooling system. Built for discerning enthusiasts this Gravistar is equipped with state of the art components throughout and modded using Armari's engineering expertise. Our experience stems from over 11 years of building and selling high end and extreme systems. Armari introduced PCs with triple speed memory back in 1994, dual processor Phase Change cooling in 1997 and non-conductive liquid cooling using Supercomputer technology in 2002. Armari now continues its long history of developing innovative technology by introducing the Gravistar CoolFlow X2. Since the CPC review we have completed testing with nVidia 7800GTX cards in SLI configuration and it offers big performance increases in some of the latest games. The 7800GTX SLI upgrade will also significantly boost the performance of the next generation games titles using the Unreal 3 engine, as well as current games with High Definition Rendering modes. This upgrade and the custom configurator is available now by selecting the Customise button.
    Here is what Custom PC had to say: "A Dream PC should be finely-tuned, quiet, good-looking, impeccably engineered, very fast and actually worth £5,000. It should be something special, and the Gravistar is certainly that."
    **Please Note the CoolFlow X2 was a special limited production run system that has now finished**

        wow! a thread so I can see you dream pC! exciting! not... anyways sorry, yeah just save up and build your own.

        im actually running into a problem with my dad. hes in the market for a new PC and I told him I could build it. but he doesnt trust me soo much, so hes deciding between buying a prebuilt one (dell, hp etc) or having me build one. and I was going to build it because I convinced him it would be much cheaper (hes really cheap) until I saw this one HP at COMPUSA and I couldnt lie, it was a good deal.

        hes looking for a good computer for work etc, and some mild gaming so me and my sis could do some stuff on it. but basically one that will last for a while and performs good.
        for 680$ it was Hewlett Packard
        a sckt 939 AMD Athlon 64 3800+
        1GB RAM
        integrated ATI xpress 200, two cd/dvd drivers w/ lightscribe. windows media center edition .

        eh -_-

          They put 1Gb of corsair ram in an SLI sytem with nearly 1TB of hard disk storage? :wall:

          Should I slit my wrists, or will anyone volunteer to do it for me?

                Yea, but its fast ram.... Still I'd rather have 2 GB of a little slower RAM than 1 GB of fast RAM...

                  Corsair ValueSelect is fine for budget systems Wreck. Just not with a DFI. But even thats uncommon.

                  Corsair XMS is good RAM as far as quality goes, but they can't overclock for crap. Thats why I hate it. But its not bad RAM, just can't overclock. Expensive RAM is supposed to overclock.

                    sackynut, that is a good deal but you wont be able to play BF2. its cuz of the GPU. i can on play BF2 at the lowest possible settings with it. other than for gaming its a really good deal

                      I bolded corsair because I don't like the company for the reasons you stated as well as others. For instance their new SLI ram that is supposed to be SLI certified for Asus boards? What a load of marketing BS. SLI and memory have nothing to do with each other. What next? SLI certified keyboards?

                      Anyway my emphasis should have been on the fact they only put 1Gb of ram in the system with dual 7800's and 900Gb of storage.

                      Can you imagine the look on someones face who spends that much on a PC and can't play BF2 on high settings?

                        Ah, yes. Corsair is really into that marketing crap, haha. I see.

                        Yea, I like that last comment though, lol. I'd cry if that happened to me.
