Reactor PC for FAH

Post by [BrainBug] »

A friend showed me the 'Attack of the Show' video review of the Reactor PC and it's a beast of a machine! I'd love to see someone run FAH on this thing and show some stats :twisted: :lol:
Supposedly it can take some pretty heavy overclocking.

OH MY :shock:

$10,000

hmmm......
I dont think so, besides the "special" cooling fluid, the ethernet, audio, video, usb ports being on the top of the case, there is nothing special. If you have the spare cash laying around, then by all means go for it. BUT any body with half a brain can build a similar puter for half the price(not including special supercomputer cooling fluid).
over 30,000 werk units

Depends how much it overclocks by.

With 3 9800GX2s that never really got warm, it may be worth it, for the extreme PPD crowd.

But with some of the guides on EOC im guessing you could do more for less.
