| JEMC said: What can I say. I can see an amateur having to buy CPUs to try them and re-selling the ones that don't meet the expectations, but for a professional that's a very bad business plan. He should have deals with stores or other custom PC vendors to sell him the best CPUs for, say an extra 15% over its retail price so both can win. And yes, the case by itself is expensive, and watercooling and cable routing is very good, but that has more to do with man hours tiding it rather than simple expensive products. Yesterday I say a review of a custom build PC |
Well. If I could pay a vendor who was willing to do it for me, I'd be all for it. :)
As for water cooling if you get a kit you can do it for under $300.
For my complete PC overhaul I spent:
$568 on Nickel water blocks for the GPU's alone.
$150 for the Nickel CPU water block.
$60 on brackets.
$160 on Noctua fans.
$30 on a Terminal.
$170 on the pump.
$90 on reservoirs.
$300 on Radiators.
$60 on Tubing.
And probably (Lost count) $100 on fittings.
And that's with a discount.
Then, if something doesn't fit or you cut it to the wrong size you have to pony down more cash. (Not looking forward to that.)
Then you have the cost of getting a bar of silver too.
So it's not cheap for a decent loop with high quality components, I could understand if it was a cheap kit or a closed loop cooler though.
That 'Battle PC' looks cool.
Just not fast enough for my needs! :P
