One of the fastest, most tricked out PCs ever built has just been put
up for auction on eBay. With a one of a kind NVIDIA themed paint job
created by Smooth Creations, the system features two watercooled
GeForce GTX 295 graphics cards in SLI, NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses and
Samsung 2233RZ 3D Vision Ready Display, an Intel Core i7 975 Extreme
Edition CPU, 12GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR3 Memory, an ASUS Rampage II
Gene X58 Motherboard, two 256GB Crucial SSD Hard Drives in Raid 0, two
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drives, and more.
The
system was hand built by world renowned case modder Richard “Darth
Beavis” Surroz, and is valued at over $10,000. 100% of the proceeds
from the auction are going directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society. All of the services and parts used to create the system were
donated by the 11 main sponsors of the project.
NVIDIA
employee (and former hardware editor) Paul Jastrzebski put together
this project as a way to raise money for blood cancer research after a
close friend of his was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a devastating
blood cancer.
Every company Paul mentioned the project to
enthusiastically donated some of their best PC components or their
unique services – and after only a few weeks, one of the fastest and
coolest looking PCs ever built was created.
The system is up for auction on eBay at the following address:
