Smooth Creations LANShark Extreme Gaming Rig

What an awesome-looking rig! If only I could afford one...

Very nice indeed

Definately a nice rig nice components including the raptor, 4870s, and ram!!

Actually just ordered one of their LANShark Standards.  i7-920, DFI LanParty Jr X58, Radeon 4870 1GB (had to call for this, it is only $34 over the 512MB card), 6GB of DDR3 1333, Silverstone 750w PSU, 1TB WD HDD, ASUS DVD+R 20x Lightscript, Painted Logitech MX5500 Keyboard/Mouse, watercooling and a fully custom paintjob.  I'm getting a custom version of this, Randy is going to tell them to go wild.

Price?  $1955, which is not much more then I could build the system for without the paintjob (All parts without paintjob come out to ~$1,800 without cables, case fans, and other small items).  I really like this company and will post up a review when it comes in.  Oh yea, and it is going to be feeding a HP w2408h monitor and some Logitech G51 speakers.  I iz

Must have pics!!

Mmm...PICS....

Relax guys, it is going to take a little while.  They just started cutting my case yesterday.  Then they have to paint it.  All in all, I was told it takes about 2 weeks for cutting, painting, building, and burn in.  I will actually have the desk all setup before it even gets here.

*Edit*
I did look at the case and mobo some more.  Guess I'll be ordering me another 6GB of DDR3-1333 ram (since it can handle 24GB) when I get the exact type they used (email sent) since that is only $120~$140.  I'm going to add a Logisys cold cathoid tube or two (blue or UV) to really bring out the paint job [since that is something from the artical that it lacked].  Finally, if possible I am thinking about sticking another HDD or two in there.  I just happen to have a G.Skill Titan 128GB sitting around (don't ask, I won't tell) and can get a second one pretty cheap.

What do you guys think, glowing blue, packing 12GB of Ram, 128GB (possibly 256GB RAID 0) [Note: these are internally two RAID0 64GB drives with dual controllers]  of SSD w/ 1TB of HDD Storage, a 1GB 4870, Coolit Pure on the CPU, OC'ed as far as reasonable, feeding a 24" LCD (maybe a second one, since I got several slightly smaller ones laying around), and getting sound out of a Logitech G51 speaker set.

awesome looking computer, and case (as always). though, i think smooth creations should offer some variety for the video card.... some nvidia options? and some choice of the video card brand... some people dont have the best experiences with certain video cards *cough* *cough* offering 2 or 3 brands will be good, so some customers arent alienated.
