[Bungral]

Just a load of fans I spose.... God it's gonna get so hot in there!! 2Kw and 3 x 280's plus an overclocked Extreme.

its one of those that gets more appealing the more beers you have...anyway as my father used to always say "U dont look at the mantle peice when your stoking the fire"....its amazing how much of life you can utilise that saying with...

scan have a customizable 3xs system, alright its not in a fancy (nice word for a two bagger) asus case but the specs are pretty much identical, get a tri sli for just under £4000.check here maybe thats a hint at the price asus would be aiming for

Looks like Alienware have a bit of a competition to keep up to. BTW I think there is something seriously wrong with Overclock3D's clock. When will it be fixed

 

[Bungral]

Asus have released details of the Ares, their highest powered pre-built gaming monster.

For all the details, click here!!!

Agreed.

Looks like it should stammer out 'I R MEGATRON!'

Ya see I don't hate it. I wouldn't wanna own it mind, but as is I don't think it's well ugly.

Obviously though something has to swing or open to get to the drives which would

me off something chronic.

Meh... more money than sense...

I don't care what it has inside of it.. it is FUGLY!

Agreed... Damn she is one hellavaoogly Beeyitch!

Reckon we should have Sweepstakes on the price... i'll go for 5000 gold queen headed nuggets.... no ta very much.

I couldnt help but disagree. I think that case is really nice, although like Bungral said, that flip-up front panel cover would get annoying sometimes.

As for price, I think it will be more than 5k. I think something around the 6.5k mark. Jawdropping, but believeable.

Yea probably more than 6.5k US dollars. Cause i built a machine like that with SLI 280s on Newegg and it was around 6200. THat was with a single Velociraptor, Striker II Extreme, 4gig DDR3, SLI XFX 280s, 1kw PSU, and Thermaltake Armor.

Meh I dont care if its ugly I want one anyway

Just celotape some carbboard to the front then you can't see it

As an ASUS, and being a prebuild, ready to go thing, it wouldn`t supprize me if it was $7k. Of course they get goods cheaper than the retail buyer, so that could skip a few $100 - but then u`d have to attach the ASUS pricing ontop of it.

Be £4k for sure tho.

Be nice of them to have a price guessing competition and have one as a prize

What the heck are they cooling the thing with ?
