My friend built this...is it good?

faraaz · 13-05-2007, 09:06 PM

Intel i915 (??) chipset mobo
2x Intel 6700 Quad Cores
4x R600 Quad-Sli
8 GB Low Latency 1200 MHz RAM
2x 150 GB Raid 0
2x 1 TB HDD
2x 1200 W SMPS Units
2x ASUS Physics Cards in Software SLI Mode
42" LCD Monitor
Bose 7.1 Surround Sound
Creative Elite Pro Sound Card
Microsoft G15 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse

The entire system is oil-cooled with a custom cabinet manufactured in-house with absolutely no operating noise!! Price is around 3-4 Lakhs...

My friend runs Catnap Systems...and these are his high end systems. This one was the prototype...he's got around 12 orders for these things already...

Anyone interested?

wow... tats not a normal computer dude... its almost a super comp for me... its really great config... my dream comp

.... i sounds like a alienware

~Phenom~ · 13-05-2007, 09:13 PM

^^ I will have to loot a bank to get this monster. I can get 10 good config systems in that price range.

praka123 · 13-05-2007, 09:17 PM

but it definitely is a good thing if it is in India,as u cant compare the cost of alienware's with this one.

faraaz · 13-05-2007, 11:16 PM

Yeah...he lives up the road from my place and he's into all this in a big way. He's also the first person that I know of that is manufacturing custom cabinets (albeit at a small scale at the moment...) He's graduated to Castrol 4T oil for the cabinets now!

There's also the Warhead cabinets he's making which are modeled to look like an actual missile warhead...with fans at both ends...

And yeah, its all based right here in Bangalore!

gxsaurav · 13-05-2007, 11:18 PM

Strange config.

Intel 915 chipset & Quad Core CPU

cynosure · 13-05-2007, 11:25 PM

I think I will have to work in Catnap to get my hands on one of those machines

fun2sh · 13-05-2007, 11:27 PM

is that really possible.

its like a dream

unbelievable configs but too high price.

somebody plz gift it too me.

:roll:

thnx

47shailesh · 13-05-2007, 11:40 PM

can you post a snap of it, specially the cooling system, i want to see....

no offense intended but to me it seem to be a fake..

assasin · 13-05-2007, 11:53 PM

^^^ yeah mainly the mobo part and the Bose 7.1 spkr system.
a 915 chipset simply cant support a quad core proccy .
and the total config that he has posted ought to cost more than 4lakhs due to that Bose 7.1 spkr system cuz everybody here knows that Bose doesnt come cheap.

i too felt the same when i saw the 915 mobo.... with tat amount he would hav bought the latest intel mobo.... i doubt this config.... wat u guys say???

faraaz · 14-05-2007, 09:16 AM

I just copy-pasted the sms he sent me to inform...BUT I'm going to his house today, so I'll clarify the MOBO config, and take a couple of pictures of the cabinet for you guys...

As for the price, that was just a guesstimate, you do realise I mentioned earlier that this system is a prototype which is not for sale?? The orders that have been booked haven't had a price fixed yet.

Excellent config but some questions,

1] Intel i915 (??) chipset mobo ----> 915 chipset supporting Quad core CPU ?? and also SLI and CF ?? not possible.

2] 4x R600 Quad-Sli ----> R600 is ATI's flagship card yet to be launched,how come it supports SLI ? Also it supports Crossfire and AFAIK there is no Quad CF till date.

3] Microsoft G15 Gaming Keyboard ----> MS G15 ???? isnt that made by Logitech ??

Last but not the least, i would like to know more about oil cooled part.

Waiting in anticipation

MIT · 14-05-2007, 12:33 PM

Bullshit.

faraaz · 14-05-2007, 01:24 PM

R600 Demo pieces are out in Bangalore at the moment...and Quad-Sli => the equivalent setup for Crossfire. Dunno what you call it, I just say SLI for everything...

As for the motherboard, like I said...I'm not sure if that is correct myself, hence the question marks in my original post.

I'll just not say anything till I can get photos by today evening, shall I?

teknoPhobia · 14-05-2007, 03:29 PM

Please put up some pics

sivarap · 14-05-2007, 03:39 PM

cynosure · 14-05-2007, 03:41 PM

Even Oil cooled bikes are rare in India

and that guy made his own oil cooled cabinet!! (Gawd! He didnt use liquid sodium to cool off his cabby

)
Get the pics man!!! I am desperado..

sivarap · 14-05-2007, 03:45 PM

do they use liquid sodium???? It is liquid nitrogen.....lol

cynosure · 14-05-2007, 03:46 PM

^^ Liquid sodium is used in nuclear reactors

solomon_paulraj · 14-05-2007, 03:46 PM

good joke...

sivarap · 14-05-2007, 03:48 PM

an article on liquid cooled cabinet did come in DIGIT once.....(the guy used engine oil and distilled water)......but his own custom made cabinet?????? Does he own a cast iron factory?

quan chi · 14-05-2007, 08:16 PM

well may we get a snapshot of that system please.

faraaz · 14-05-2007, 08:46 PM

Yes...you will but real life happened guys!! I'm going out with my girlfriend tonight so these pics will have to wait, till like tomorrow morning I guess. If you really ARE desperate, I've given out the guys email id...nikhil.malo@gmail.com...you could contact him directly?? I'm sure he knows more about it, rather than my own half-baked knowledge based on second hand communication with him.

ECE0105 · 14-05-2007, 11:32 PM

Does any mobo (915 or otherwise) in the market support two Quad core proccys ???

Genuine doubt..

And what is with the 2x150 GB in RAID 0 and then another 1TB HDD.... Man... Have u been drinking or dreaming, or has ur frnd made a fool of u?

47shailesh · 15-05-2007, 01:26 AM

April fools day has gone a long time .. lol .. the funniest post of all time i guess ..

915 doesn't support SLi or Crossfire or Dual CPU's or Core2 Duo's .. lol

And , but the looks of it ... R600 is Quad SLi

... seems ur friend just united nvidia and AMD

Also , u cannot have SLi-ed physx card's .. lol ...

bummer ..
