Re: Ultraviolet Genesis XOC system. Yours for £4,500!
I bought a Silverstone TJ07, 2 8800GTS(640MB), An ABIT IN9 32x-Max, an X-Fi Fatality and a Q6600. I have the same RAM (OCZ Reaper 8500) and even a Swiftech cooling kit and an Alphacool screen.
Although the PC is no slowcoach, it doesn't really run the Crysis demo as smoothly as I'd like. I'm already considering selling it and buying one of these beauties...who cares about a bit of plastic, it still looks good!
I (obviously) modelled my PC on the Genesis XOC, scared by the price and power requirements, and I still feel short changed, as the Genesis will always be faster, cooler and quieter(probably). It took me 2 days to build and has been a nightmare to overclock, as the RAM is very picky about timings and the northbridge is really hot(and not measured by the motherboard) and I'm pretty worried about the VRMs as well as they're pretty warm.
So I would have to say that although I don't own one, it's a fair balance between building a realistic version yourself and shelling out for this one. (but if the people at Ultraviolet want to send me one to make the comparison, I'd be happy to be proved wrong)
