That would be a killer desktop. Top notch components such as the i7 980x, Radeon 5870, and the intel SSD make this a great gaming rig for sure. The liquid cooling on the CPU is a great touch as well as it keeps your system nice and cool, and gives some headroom for overclocking. I like the paint job on the case too.

Sweet contest Hothardware. Keep them coming!

Oww; and I can't be in the running for this, that really hurt's 😞

This system is a rig killer. A liquid cooled 980X, 80 GB Intel SSD, Blue-Ray writer, Bluetooth and a 1TB main drive not to mention all the other goodies and the full tower. Not to mention everything else (USB3/SATA3/5870 and on a new release Asus MB).

This is an exceptional system to say the least!

Kyouya, actually they're not. Read Marco's post below. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to have the prize eligible in Canada, and Dave, Marco deserve some appreciation for their efforts.

Yes, but just imagine how much happier people with THIS rig will be even if they already have a decent gaming machine!
