The boys over at [H] are getting into the business of reviewing full systems in a similar way to how they review graphics cards. They kick things off with a system that comes watercooled and overclocked from 3.2GHz to 4GHz out of the box.
What can I say? Four logical processors at 4Ghz, plenty of RAM, a powerful 3D card, and a dual layer DVD burner make for one powerful and versatile machine when it comes to digital content creation, 3D modeling, or other activities outside of gaming. As we saw with the ZooRender benchmark, this 'home gaming' machine plays in the arena of its big brothers in the Xeon/Opteron arena. The ProMagix DCX made short work of video editing, and Velocity Micro's choice to include a 250GB SATA drive in addition to the RAID 0 system array will keep Adobe happy with the ability to configure a scratch drive.
