That's right, a GREAT looking water-cooled case with a 600W PSU for $399! Saw one in person yesterday, and this thing rocks, for a cheapo!!!

Before you start laughing, check it out for yourself! I'll bet this thing beats 99% of the rigs on Anandtech...

I don't know who came up with this combo, but they should get a Pulitzer! :)

oh no... let me tell you all the wrong ways about the water setup.

The gigabyte cooler has been shown to have problems keeping up with a swiftech counterpart. In fact the best watercooling case prebuilt i would have to say is the swiftech P180.

The pump which is used on the gigabyte isnt the best pump. Also the waterblock design is by nature very primative compared to the apogee GT series, and D-tek blocks.

The complete setup is very bling bling, but i wouldnt expect it to do that much better then the TR120 Extreme.

The waterkeg by seth, aka newls1 would most likely eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Most people who run a 120x2 radiator will also eat it for lunch and dinner, not breakfast. And the people with 120x3 radiators will ignore posts given by people who post prebuilt kits.

:X

Stick with AIR, thats my recomendation for people looking at this for watercooling. You'll be much happier with a cheaper pricetag at near same performance.

I've read around the forums for a while now, and I've noticed that VinDSL has a very keen sense of humor, and I'm guessing this is all a joke ^^

That's an awkward design. I wonder if they sell grommets like that seperatly. If I ever go back to water cooling I'll consider getting some for my Antec Nine Hundred.

You must have read my mind! :D

It'll run better than a TR120 eXtreme, yes? How MUCH better is the only question...

You won't have to lap it, plus you'll be the only person on Anandtech with a TR killer, performance-wise and looks!

Hrm...

Maybe the wife will get an early Christmas present this year! :)

oh heavens no.

You get the wife something like koolance. Something that looks very very bling. Yet has no real performance or function.

But looks really nice, and lets her know how hot her water is. :p

Just by and for itself, I had thought the 3DAurora was a case with "potential." But y'all know I seldom buy cases . . .
