It’s called a murderbox. Horrible name, beautiful computer. Billed as “a complete, custom built liquid cooled PC”, each murderbox uses the “latest hardware” and is “painstakingly assembled” by its creators.
As for specs, those are up to you. But be warned, prices start at $US6000, and “depending on the amount of custom work involved” you could be looking at a PC costing nearly $US20,000.
Like I said, too much for the average gamer, but if you were rich, the build quality looks like they might actually be worth the money.
The pictures below have examples of three murderboxes. The company’s site is below.

Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 9:16 AMShame the case looks like crap.
If I were spending $6000 on a PC I’d skip the liquid cooling and fork out the cash I save from that and get a nice looking case and customise it myself.

Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 2:52 PMMaybe it’s just me, but doesn’t buying something like this take all the fun out of custom builds and liquid cooling setups?

Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 5:09 PMI have water cooling and have for about 7 years, and it was never (very much…) about the coolness of it.
Actually, it was about the QUIET of it. Having a PC that is quiter than your average 747 taking off is kind of a nice thing, we got so tired of heatsinks that were 40db+, especially on a system that is in a primary room for other entertainments, like DVDs and TV and music.
Ultimately, remember that your Really Cool Hobby might be someone else’s Really Functional Thing and they might not care about the DIY aspect.

Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 3:59 PMCustom built high-end PC’s are all about building them yourself. There can be no satisfaction on buying an overpriced pre-made PC.
