Gaming Rig

Published by Bogdan Alex, on May 28th, 2008, in the categories: News


Alienware and Voodoo sure put together some of the best custom-made gaming rigs out there, but it looks like these two will have some new competitors. We know there are several smaller companies that specialize in custom-made PCs in the US, like Falcon Northwest, and a few days ago I told you that even Acer has decided to step into this arena. Realizing this market could bring fair incomes, it’s time for Diamond to show us its latest PC rig. Diamond Multimedia, the good ol’ sound and graphics card company.

The cool looking gaming rig is not assembled by Diamond Multimedia. Diamond just provided a proprietary Radeon 3870 X2 graphics card for the system, but they also took care of the promotion. Responsible for the customization is Smooth Creations, a rather new system builder from the US. Smooth Creations is well known for its custom painted chassis and this system is certainly no exception.

Apart from the powerful Diamond Radeon 3870 X2 card, the system integrates a Phenom 9750 CPU, an AMD 700-SB600 based Abit AX78 motherboard, 4GB of Kingston RAM, a 500GB Western Digital hard drive and Coolit Systems Eliminator CPU water cooling system. Diamond and Smooth Creations though that hardcore gamers could go ahead and add a second dual-GPU card, so they included a Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1250 power supply to keep everything under control when power-hungry components are overclocked. The gaming rig is claimed to score an impressive 14,019 points in 3Dmark06.

You can order one of these monsters directly from the Smooth Creations’ website for $2,262.92.
