8k...

TX10 with a SR3 full blown rig plus maybe even a second SR3 to fold on.

That sounds better.

 

[Not A Good Idea]

Ebay can keep that.

 

[neobloodline]

Do you have to plug atari games into it to record data?

 

[stRodda]

hahaha, $8000 gets you an i7 with a cooler master 212??? They sure went all out didn't they?

I couldn't afford the taxes either.

bill has lost his touch, he is a modder for hire now. he is a good business man but lost his touch for modding. that thing is ugly!!!

 

[edalbkrad]

its not even close to the elite 430 design lol. it looks like utter crap.

I'd rather buy an NZXT phantom

It's not that bad, the exclusivity is whats driving up the cost. I really like the plexi-glass side.

 

[adamkatt]

what a waste of money...

 

[Raiden911]

8k mmm I can buy a lot of stuff.

 

[Blizlake]

I think there's at least 7k too much to start with. Not saying that I'd buy that for even 1k though.

 

[ZealotKi11er]

At least but a better system inside. The past are worth less then 1.5K. Have at least a water cooled 3K build and sell the case for extra 5K.

 

[CaptaiNeckBeard]

I wonder how much taxes are on that? You think some rich trekkie would want that lol.

Exclusivity for a computer case...

I got a one-off mountain mods sitting in my closet. Custom cut side panels, modded interior, custom made parts you can't find anywhere because no one has ever made them.

Where's ma 8k?

its ugly because its modeled after the older star trek style, not the new. IMO that makes it even more geeky and legit

that said, i think its ugly as heck too. lol

 

[wholeeo]

No one is buying that crap for $8000, especially from a 0 feedback seller.

Forget that..I just did my "if I win powerball" build and saved it to my wishlist on newegg the other day. 3960k, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd storage, tri sli 3gb 580s, and ALL uber highend peripherals and it clocks in nearly 1k less than this.
