Super Eagle Extreme Gamer $6,000 Gaming PC

CompAmerica introduced what might be world’s most advanced gaming PC.
It is called Super Eagle Extreme and comes with 3 NVIDIA 8800 GTS video adapters, the new Intel QX9650 processor, a high performance S-ATA RAID controller for 10 Sata-3 GB/second HDD and the support for 8GB of 800/1600 GHz dual channel memory.

The powerful computer has a not so appealing case though, or at least you can’t compare it with the one used for the $45,000 world’s most expensive gaming PC, but at least it has enough space for a top mounted 200 mm Big Boy TriCool exhaust fan, 2 front loaded HDD cages for up to 6 HDDs, 2 120 mm TriCool blue LED front fans for HDD cooling, 120 mm fan mount for VGA cooling which is an option for the window side panel, and not at last, the top tray for digital devices.

This ANTEC Thermal Housing is designed to allow 4 to 5times more thermal performance compared to the other housings, and has a perforated front bezel for air intake and space for the power supply at the bottom of the case.
The hard disk cages are designed as air ducts to guide the air flow more efficiently, while there is also an option to add a middle 120 mm fan bracket for video cards and processor cooling.

The advanced cooling system includes 1 top 200 mm TriCool fan with 3-speed switch control, 1 rear 120mm TriCool fan with 3-speed switch control, 2 front 120mm special black TriCool blue LED fans with 3-speed switch control to cool HDDs, 1 optional side 120mm fan to cool graphic cards, and 1 optional middle 120mm fan to cool CPU or graphic cards.

The 9 drive bays can be arranged in the following combinations: 3 external each of 5.25 inches and 6 internal each of 3.5 inches; 6 external each of 5.25 inches and 3 internal each of 3.5 inches; all 9 external each of 5.25 inches.

Other characteristics of the ANTEC Thermal Housing for the Super Eagle Extreme include micro and standard ATX motherboard support, 7 expansion slots, power/reset button with a blue LED indicator, 2 USBs, 1 IEEE 1394, and audio.
This case has a net weight of 18.52 lb (8.4 kg) with a gross of 24.36 lb (11.05 kg), and measures 19.4 x 8.1 x 18.4 inch (49.3 cm x 20.6 cm x 46.7 cm).

Now let’s see what you get in exchange of $6,000 for the Ground Zero configuration:
You get the overclockable Intel Quad Core QX9650 with a 3GHz speed, 4 GB DDR II RAM, an Nvidia 780i SLI mainboard with support for 3 PCIE 16X, 3 Nvidia 8800 512 GTS video boards in 3-way SLI (1.5G video RAM), 4 WD Raptor 150G SATA 3GB/second stripped Raid 5 (2 x 2 stripe/mirror), the ANTEC gaming case with the advanced cooling system, the Corsair 620 Watt PS, 1 Blu Ray Burner Drive, 1 Sony DVD burner with 20x speed, Windows XP/Vista, the Logitech Gaming Keyboard Ultimate 6000, and the Logitech Laser/Mouse Ultimate.

"The theory behind the Super Eagle, is to use three 16x PCI Express Video Adapters to more than double the performance normally available from Microsoft Windows Vista and XP, running gaming software as a competitive sport." said Dr. Jack A. Shulman, company’s CEO. "We have been shipping water cooled overclockers to Extreme Gamers since the 90's, and recently Intel and nVidia have jumped on the Extreme Gamer bandwagon: it's a highly competitive field of extraordinarily skilled Video Gamers who demand the best, so we decided to make the very fastest Video Gamer in the industry, at a reasonable price."

"A fully configured SEE series runs from $2000 to $5000 or more, so expect to pay a good amount for top of the line systems," added Dr. Shulman, "but expect to also get the best performance for the price in the industry!"
