Just recently found this. First time I have seen this company, but the computer they make is scary.

hardcorecomputer.com

Here is a video about their system.

All heat generating components are completely submerged in liquid. They say an overclocked Geforce 280 GTX will run at full load at 35c.

The case design itself it ingenius. All components you would want to get to, are extremely easy to get to. The system is easy to open up and work on.

All the parts in the system are the best out there. The memory is designed by someone you probably haven't heard of, as they normally deal with the military and nasa.

Of course it costs way more money than most of us would be able to fork over for a computer, but boy would I if I had the money.

One thing that kind of confuses me though.. is their config for solid state drives is a single one, or raid 0. Raid 0 makes almost no sense for a solid state, as there is really no seek time on a solid state to begin with. All a raid 0 would do for a SSD is make two drives into one. Would not give any noticeable performance increase.

I saw this a few months back in my MaximumPC magazine. Its crazy what you can do when you have money to burn. lol. I think the raid is due to SSD's having not so great write speeds, reads are fast enough.
