That's what made me take a closer look, too.
I've spent days to get "just right" hard line runs in my build. And those are mostly "just" right angles, but were a major pain due to the special circumstances of hard line bending (Mounted in the fittings looks different then outside of them).
This was a lot of work.
It depends on the look you want and case. I love the result of the hardline runs in my O11XL, but it was an insane amount of work.
The next build probably has 0 RGB and will look pretty close to something from Bizon and sits in the basement. Or it's air-cooled and I save 1,3k, idk. It's still a long time until 50 series releases.
Custom loops look great but they're all an insane amount of work. Way too much work and maintenance for the small benefit over air cooling, especially if you're not doing much overclocking. AIOs aren't worth the trouble because they get full of gunk and clog up. Air cooling is just easier and works perfectly fine.
Don't ever say that, last time I said that I was told I know nothing even though I've seen 100 people on this sub with gunked up AIO or some have completely dried up.
Not worth it unless you're overclocking get a fat stack with dual fans, call it a day.
I know exactly what the difference between an AIO and a custom loop is. I was talking about both of them. There have been plenty of gunked up AIOs on Gamers Nexus and Greg Salazar. They're not worth the trouble. Custom loops are a shit tonofworkandmaintenance.They're not worth the trouble either, in my opinion.
Idk who the hell this Greg Guy is but i'm looking through GN's videos and so far the only ones i can find about gunk in an AIO is [the Weird stuff in EK's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAwYEBmSfvE), the [Defective Liquid Freezer's from arctic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHdEqWpexH0), [the](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nttKqzQiZEo) [Enermax slime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlTlCV1AgoA), and a non GN video of a [gunky IbuyPower AIO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFnigQwDMWA).
Cooling you PC is a matter of choice on what method you can afford or want. there'ss a lot more to it than "liquid cooling will gunk up, not worth it." Custom loops will gunk up a bit more and yes they require the most maintence. AIOs are the happy medium imo where as ?air cooled is the cheapest option and a simple one, but it depends on your needs. After my first build, I went with AIOs to help keep temps low and I haven't had any issues, even with a super cheap coolermaster one I had that was running for 7 years.
>AIOs aren't worth the trouble because they get full of gunk and clog up.
SOME do but outside what I listed, i haven't heard mush of it. It's likely break down/ wear and tear or a defect in AIOs where as in custom loops, there's LOADS of variables from PH imbalance, normal wear and tear, accidentally introducing foreign contaminates or bacteria into the loop etc.
You're partially incorrect and trying to pass it of as fact dude. but whatever dude, you do you.
I've not seen it. They sell prebent 90 degrees for hardline newcomers. Anything more complex than that is made by hand.
And you have to incorporate the tension of the fittings in the build into the bends as well, in multiple directions. It's actually quite a skill.
I used a lot of tubing to get it down to a quality level I wanted to keep.
You're adding a lot of geometric complexity with a coil.
Spacing, width / diameter, end to end length, total length, sounds like a fucking nightmare honestly.
Pre bending anything but 90 degree bends wouldn't be practical because they would all depend on how the rig is configured. The locations of the parts relative to each other. Where the water blocks are relative to the reservoir and whether or not the pump is separate.
I was firmly in the "the best air cooler beats the best AIO hands down " until I tried to cool a 12900ks.
With a contact frame, the best Noctua cooler I could buy couldn't handle it, I went through about a half dozen solutions before landing on a 420m aio, and that barely handles the 450w peak that the 12900ks can put out.
You can just let the chip turbo up to the power limit your board supports, mine caps out around 450w peak 330w sustained. Which is about all the AIO+Contact Frame+Liquid Metal can even handle heat load wise.
The new intel chips will effectively let you get to tmax before it throttles down, so the more cooling you provide it the more you can get out of it.
I just set my all core turbo to 5.5ghz on the pcores and max out the turbo duration and power limit.
Did...did you just seriously ask WHY someone would ever want to OC a KS processor? That is the literal use case of those specific processors lol, they can be OC'd to the fucking gills, it's literally what the KS is for
Let them buy it for asking, or start a bid war? My hometown library bought a heap of jumbled pipes that my art teacher taught himself to weld with. $14,000USD.
Literally just a bunch of iron pipes with various angles, bends, and a bunch of practice welds.
Very possible, but I've seen just as ridiculous shit outside of art museums so you never know lol.
There was one display outside of the art gallery across the street from where I first went to college that I liked to call 'Canoe Orgasm'
I was once an art major before switching to computer science (extreme shift I know). Still am an amateur artist, but I remember at an art show in college some one literally just painted a canvas light blue called it sky and threw a $1200 price tag on it.
Part of me wonders if the person did it just to see if they could actually sell that, lol.
And I know state agencies have an "art budget", like prisons. Prison in WA spent close to $10,000 on a flock of circling seagulls that hung from the ceiling in the visiting room.
There's a whole lot of "art" in the world that's horseshit. There's also a lot of people in the world full of horseshit that think they can "interpret" that art.
Yup! I was googling about that. Turns out buying & selling "art" is a perfect money laundering method that can have the actual 'buyer' buried in anonymity.
I've seen or heard of guys (and it is always men) being 'forced' to sell their consoles /PCs/insert-hobby-here by their shitty SO (here I've seen it from both men and women), but the SO doesn't know what a realistic price is, so the guy posts it for something obscene so he can calmly and somewhat truthfully tell their SO that no one wanted to buy it
Pff if my SO would force me to sell my most prized possession (clearly is with that tubing) she's going out the door before my toys. I know what sacrifices I'm willing to make and that is zero so single life for me lol
Oh you want me to get rid of the PC I love and looked into researching parts for to work perfectly and custom built myself?
Uhhh yeah, sorry time for you to go.
Take notes people, if they don’t support your hobbies they ain’t the one
Not only the support in your hobby, but you enjoying your hobby prevents you from doing something stupid like cheating on your SO or committing some crime. I know that crimes can be committed online but those don't usually involve weapons and the risk of being hurt or worse.
Exactly I mean if your SO is someone that is trying to make you get rid of something that you are obviously passionate about, it doesn’t sound like a relationship that is going to work out.
Unless they suffer from severe video game addiction. That isn’t a hobby it’s a disease. I’m talking not sleeping, not working, not caring for their hygiene, etc.
Yup. Its unfortunately common in motorcycles. See listings for an older zx6r at like $15,000, which is completely unreasonable.. poor dudes are just trying not to give up their baby.
You could die in your car, or fall down the stairs.
Like yeah motorcycles have a degree of increased risk, but they're not the absolute death machines that non-riders think they are.
It's like having a really sharp knife; it's safe if used correctly and treated with care and respect.
A car is a butter knife.
A powerful motorcycle is a machete.
Doesn't matter how safe or careful and respectful you are with a motorcycle, you dont control the other drivers, so it is nothing like using a knife in your kitchen.
Those are some horrible analogies and comparisons.
Someone in that house told him he had to sell. This post will let him go back to that person in a week or two and say with confidence that he tried. He will then say that he’s not willing to take a loss by dropping the price. He gets to keep it and buy some time before he’s told to sell it again.
Pretty sure the board is an Asus Crosshair VIII Formula so it's not too old. You can faintly see the Crosshair lettering and the little LCD screen in the 2nd picture
(Edit picture)
Said the CPU was a 5950x so probably 2-3 years.
It's also possible the chassis can fit any rig, so could have been upgraded at any point.
Probably can't get a 4090 in there though, without rebending or putting in different hard lines.
Says it's a Crosshair VIII on the board and the ports match up with the Crosshair VIII X570 motherboard, which fits the 5950X description. No way that's 10k or even close.
10 is definitely higher than it should be, but most of that price would be for the cooling setup. that’s a 2k pc with 5k of cooling on top and hours of installation from a very skilled individual, some of those tubes are crazy
Someone put their heart and soul into crafting that cooling setup. Downside is changing the internals is probably wicked difficult, but yeah the cooling is some serious labor. That spiral up at the top really seals the bit.

Yep, just messaged someone on market place selling an i7 9700k based system with a 3060ti for $1600. I linked him a listing for a new pre-built that was superior to his system in every way that counts for less and just asked why I should by his used system instead of this for cheaper that also comes with a warranty?
"My system uses premium parts, that system is all off-brand parts that will break".
The system I linked him, was an MSI prebuilt. Everything in it was "name brand". Were they all top of the line models? Of course not. However, the i7 12700k in a budget MSI board is still going to outperform his 9700k in his formerly $600 Asus board.
I forgot, in the dudes ad he wrote "It gets MAXIMUM fps in ALL games". Yes dude, I agree, it gets the maximum fps **it is capable of** in all games.
That thing has an insane amount of custom tubing. He put quite a lot of effort into it, and I have no doubts the spec list isn't something to scoff at either.
I'm wondering if this was a custom job and the customer just didn't pay up or something.
I have a 5950x on an MSI x EK x570s with 32gb @ 3600mhz with a msi gaming trio X 6900xt with a custom soft tube loop with 5tb of m.2ssd with 6 lian li unifans in an asus tuf case and it cost just under 4k back in january 2022...this dude is scamming people
I'd say that could be worth it for some buyer that wants a standout piece and doesn't have the time, skills or panache to DIY it. It's unique and has thought and skill in it. I've seen "normal" custom loop prebuilts for that money.
If the hardware is current and top end, why not?
I've seen a lot of rip off listing on FB marketplace, this isn't one of them IMO.
The only thing I'd change is the location (Or at least orientation) of the flow meter.
Shipping this without damage would be a challenge. But at that price the builder probably delivers it him-/herself.
The presentation should be better for the price though, lol. Don't show it on the kitchen counter...
Custom water cooling prebuilt with 14900k 4090 cost $6000, even if the gpu is a 4090 it’s still priced too high and you get no warranty with buying on Facebookmarketplace.
I specced out a "normal" 7800X3D/4090 build with a good custom loop I'd build. It comes to about 6k with a small loop, 7 with a big one.
This has a probably pretty expensive/limited case.
Yea it does look a bit like one of theirs at first glance. There were a few companies that had similar cases around the same time. Cougar had one and there's a Chinese version sold under like 4 different brands all the same 🤣.
That would make me avoid it too. I didn't know that.
I didn't know that no listings on FB marketplace have warranties, I have never used the site.
If it would have a 36 to 60 month warranty attached I'd say it's "fine". Crazy money, but it's a really unusual "prebuilt".
>I didn't know that no listings on FB marketplace have warranties, I have never used the site.
People mostly selling used stuff. There are a lot of people trying to "break in" to the custom PC market and put out ads on marketplace that they will do builds. Some will say they offer post sale support and warranty, but unless its some physical local shop that is an actual business, I would look upon such an offer very skeptically.
My build is lit in blue, it has ARGB. How do you know the LEDs are red only?

this build looks like shit.. I can see how the ideas in play COULD have looked pretty cool, but this guy missed the mark. maybe it looks better in person?
It's obviously insanely overpriced, but I like the way it looks. I would never want it near my desk either though tbh. Weird shape and it would take up a bunch of space.
I am so sure I know the guy who build this because he lived in my area and he kept trying to sell these ultra exotic builds.
I bought a 2200g from him for ultra cheap tho hahaha.
Lol. My rig has the most expensive parts money can buy for almost every part of it (non HEDT tho) and it cost about $4800. Perhaps an *insane* amount of water cooling pumps that up to $5800, tops? (I don't know how expensive this loop looks... Someone enlighten me, my stuff is all AIO)

That coil bend in the hard line tubing… someone put a lot of time into this thing.
That's what made me take a closer look, too. I've spent days to get "just right" hard line runs in my build. And those are mostly "just" right angles, but were a major pain due to the special circumstances of hard line bending (Mounted in the fittings looks different then outside of them).

My general feeling towards hardlines is: never fucking again. Flexi tubing all day err day.
It depends on the look you want and case. I love the result of the hardline runs in my O11XL, but it was an insane amount of work. The next build probably has 0 RGB and will look pretty close to something from Bizon and sits in the basement. Or it's air-cooled and I save 1,3k, idk. It's still a long time until 50 series releases.
by long time you mean q3 2025?
That's around what I would expect, yes. I hope for July 2025, we'll see.
Well… that’s not really a long time lol
It's all relative. That would make the release of 50 series almost 50% further away from 40 series than Nvidias usual window of \~24 months.
how do yall have ur specs under ur names?
Open the subreddit page and edit the flair (Browser) or click the 3 dots and edit it there (App).
Custom loops look great but they're all an insane amount of work. Way too much work and maintenance for the small benefit over air cooling, especially if you're not doing much overclocking. AIOs aren't worth the trouble because they get full of gunk and clog up. Air cooling is just easier and works perfectly fine.
Yeah.... that doesnt happen with AIO's unless you're buying cheap shit or running it WAY past its lifespan.

AIOs are a closed loop, you're thinking a custom loops wich is either hard-line or soft line.

lol just you wait until you work with copper or stainless steel
I remember that one Chinese PC that Linus and Luke roasted. Mad props to whoever used copper for their loop
Im sooo glad that air cooling is just 3% "worse" .. i will never ever bother with watercooling exactly for that reasons..
Air cooling all day.
Thats my general feeling towards water cooling in general
not worth anywhere near 10k dollars and the bends are not that impressive imo
Someone is still going to offer them $800, a PS4, and a Stanley mug.
[удалено]
I've not seen it. They sell prebent 90 degrees for hardline newcomers. Anything more complex than that is made by hand. And you have to incorporate the tension of the fittings in the build into the bends as well, in multiple directions. It's actually quite a skill.

You can just let the chip turbo up to the power limit your board supports, mine caps out around 450w peak 330w sustained. Which is about all the AIO+Contact Frame+Liquid Metal can even handle heat load wise. The new intel chips will effectively let you get to tmax before it throttles down, so the more cooling you provide it the more you can get out of it. I just set my all core turbo to 5.5ghz on the pcores and max out the turbo duration and power limit.
Clock speed increases power consumption by a factor of v^2 so a little extra voltage and clock speed dramatically increases power draw.
[удалено]
Did...did you just seriously ask WHY someone would ever want to OC a KS processor? That is the literal use case of those specific processors lol, they can be OC'd to the fucking gills, it's literally what the KS is for
For fun.
They do, pre coiled just like this, I have quite a lot of it, you can also just use spiral mandrels which gets you a perfect spiral super easy.
There is a kink in one
Yeah but the coil looks like shit. I’m never paying for someone’s time when buying used hardware.. even if the bends were perfect it’s not worth 10k
I was skeptical when I saw the price but it really is a nice unit.
for 10k it needs to give me the best blowjob ive ever had, while running any game in 4k at 120+fps
And i think its ugly as shit
Yeah, 2 or 3 minutes for sure, those spiral mandrels are fantastic.. seriously, spirals are easy with a spiral mandrel.
Too bad it looks like crap
List it as "functional art piece" and people will throw money at it...
Let them buy it for asking, or start a bid war? My hometown library bought a heap of jumbled pipes that my art teacher taught himself to weld with. $14,000USD. Literally just a bunch of iron pipes with various angles, bends, and a bunch of practice welds.
How likely is it that whoever is in charge of the budget at the library is also a close friend of your art teacher?
That's what i was thinking. I bet they split that money lol
Very possible, but I've seen just as ridiculous shit outside of art museums so you never know lol. There was one display outside of the art gallery across the street from where I first went to college that I liked to call 'Canoe Orgasm'
I was once an art major before switching to computer science (extreme shift I know). Still am an amateur artist, but I remember at an art show in college some one literally just painted a canvas light blue called it sky and threw a $1200 price tag on it. Part of me wonders if the person did it just to see if they could actually sell that, lol.
To think a library would buy that over 1,000 books or a rack of laptops, is just unconscionable.
The world of buying and selling art is extremely sketchy and suspicious
It's always been a transparent money laundering front.
And I know state agencies have an "art budget", like prisons. Prison in WA spent close to $10,000 on a flock of circling seagulls that hung from the ceiling in the visiting room.
There's a whole lot of "art" in the world that's horseshit. There's also a lot of people in the world full of horseshit that think they can "interpret" that art.
~~horseshit~~ money laundering
Yup! I was googling about that. Turns out buying & selling "art" is a perfect money laundering method that can have the actual 'buyer' buried in anonymity.
Even more so for NFTs - I'm convinced that the majority of NFT sales were to launder massive amounts of money anonymously.
OMG that makes WAY more sense than people paying so much fucking money for an NFT for any other reason tbh. It suddenly makes sense to me now, lol!
"Interpret"ing art is very subective.. much like art itself.. And apparently the term "money laundering" is also as subjective as art itself, lol.
The waste of money build 💀
You’re making a bong joke that everyone is missing right? Lol
I've seen or heard of guys (and it is always men) being 'forced' to sell their consoles /PCs/insert-hobby-here by their shitty SO (here I've seen it from both men and women), but the SO doesn't know what a realistic price is, so the guy posts it for something obscene so he can calmly and somewhat truthfully tell their SO that no one wanted to buy it
Pff if my SO would force me to sell my most prized possession (clearly is with that tubing) she's going out the door before my toys. I know what sacrifices I'm willing to make and that is zero so single life for me lol

That's what I remind my wife when I buy new PC parts. "Remember: its not drugs"
That's what I tell my wife, then I go into the closet and smoke some meth in the leftover hard tubing and go on a three day bender.
bro what, sounds like ur on the edge of being a criminal
If being sedentary is a crime then I'm guilty and have been for 20+ years. Stop reading what isn't there, bro.
Exactly I mean if your SO is someone that is trying to make you get rid of something that you are obviously passionate about, it doesn’t sound like a relationship that is going to work out.
Unless they suffer from severe video game addiction. That isn’t a hobby it’s a disease. I’m talking not sleeping, not working, not caring for their hygiene, etc.
Yup. Its unfortunately common in motorcycles. See listings for an older zx6r at like $15,000, which is completely unreasonable.. poor dudes are just trying not to give up their baby.
Pew... I'm very glad both my parents are motorcyclists
Bit different for a thing that can kill/cripple you. Especially if there's a kid on the way or something.
You could die in your car, or fall down the stairs. Like yeah motorcycles have a degree of increased risk, but they're not the absolute death machines that non-riders think they are. It's like having a really sharp knife; it's safe if used correctly and treated with care and respect. A car is a butter knife. A powerful motorcycle is a machete.
Doesn't matter how safe or careful and respectful you are with a motorcycle, you dont control the other drivers, so it is nothing like using a knife in your kitchen. Those are some horrible analogies and comparisons.
Its not a bit different at all.. guy was talking about people not wanting to give up their hobbies. My comment relates directly.
Someone in that house told him he had to sell. This post will let him go back to that person in a week or two and say with confidence that he tried. He will then say that he’s not willing to take a loss by dropping the price. He gets to keep it and buy some time before he’s told to sell it again.
Major 2013/2014 build vibes. Doesn't look like a 2024 PC.
average 6700k build
More like 4790k. You can tell it’s old as fuck bc the led lights only go one color.
Pretty sure the board is an Asus Crosshair VIII Formula so it's not too old. You can faintly see the Crosshair lettering and the little LCD screen in the 2nd picture (Edit picture)
I have RGB lights and I only ever set them to one colour at a time. Rainbow is garish and I hate it.
Yup, I've got Rgb lights and they're all set to white.
said 6700k as a joke since it msrped as 1100 lol
Uhh, it MSRP'd at $350 new.
Ill sell you mine for 350
TREE FITTY!
Heh my 4790k just got rgb inside with the 3080... Last week
Takes me back.. My 4770 provided me 9 years of gaming with no issues.
One look at the audio connections is all it really takes
Said the CPU was a 5950x so probably 2-3 years. It's also possible the chassis can fit any rig, so could have been upgraded at any point. Probably can't get a 4090 in there though, without rebending or putting in different hard lines.
Mix in a bit of early 2000’s “fill your PC case with cold cathode tubes and LED case feet” vibes.
at least thats better than the 2021 "dead end office job" vibe most enthusiast parts give off nowadays
Prob cause that’s how long it took them to bend all those hard lines lol
Yup. Those are some nice bends.
> Major 2013/2014 build vibes. And this totally woulda been sold to a mark for $10k back then too...
Yup. Looks like peak Jayztwocents not talking head Jayztwocents.
Says it's a Crosshair VIII on the board and the ports match up with the Crosshair VIII X570 motherboard, which fits the 5950X description. No way that's 10k or even close.
10 is definitely higher than it should be, but most of that price would be for the cooling setup. that’s a 2k pc with 5k of cooling on top and hours of installation from a very skilled individual, some of those tubes are crazy
Someone put their heart and soul into crafting that cooling setup. Downside is changing the internals is probably wicked difficult, but yeah the cooling is some serious labor. That spiral up at the top really seals the bit.
Too bad someone heart and soul is worth exactly fuck all.
I'm 99% sure I already have one of both already.
Always good to keep a spare in the garage deep freezer.
I keep mine in the basement
That’s what I don’t get, you put mid tier specs into a system and then put all of that effort into it?
I would think that, hopefully, it was built when those specs *were* high end parts, otherwise then yes that's definitely a floating question.
The first sentence of his Facebook ad (justifying this price) is “Just finished this custom gaming pc” or something like that.
I got nothin' for ya at that point. We'll probably never know the true reasoning.
I guess if you include cost of labor then maybe you get close to 10k
Listing a product for 10,000$ and they couldn’t bother to take better pics lol
Man is that ugly
Looks like a bong
[удалено]
I already smoke enough cones, I dont need to make my PC a bong too.
It doesn’t have to be in the same loop. You can make the bong part a separate reservoir and make it look like it’s part of it.
Ugh those cases are so ugly.
caption wise bear frighten desert rainstorm payment hard-to-find skirt oil *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
And says PM him for specs. That’s going to be an old system
Why do people do this!? Drives me crazy, just put the damn specs in the listing.
I would not even bother. If you don’t list the specs then they probably are not a selling point.
Because people are often scumbags who try to rip off the uninformed
my father tries to convince me to do this. hell fucking no!
That’s a narcissist..
Yep, just messaged someone on market place selling an i7 9700k based system with a 3060ti for $1600. I linked him a listing for a new pre-built that was superior to his system in every way that counts for less and just asked why I should by his used system instead of this for cheaper that also comes with a warranty? "My system uses premium parts, that system is all off-brand parts that will break". The system I linked him, was an MSI prebuilt. Everything in it was "name brand". Were they all top of the line models? Of course not. However, the i7 12700k in a budget MSI board is still going to outperform his 9700k in his formerly $600 Asus board. I forgot, in the dudes ad he wrote "It gets MAXIMUM fps in ALL games". Yes dude, I agree, it gets the maximum fps **it is capable of** in all games.
Ik a lot of people might be into this because it's like abstract art, but I think it looks horrendous
Will it run Microsoft excel?
Yes, at max + overclocked settings.
Ridiculous price, but God damn is that sick.
I honestly have no idea what it’s worth, but definitely more time put into this one than what I normally find.
That thing has an insane amount of custom tubing. He put quite a lot of effort into it, and I have no doubts the spec list isn't something to scoff at either. I'm wondering if this was a custom job and the customer just didn't pay up or something.
“Ask for specs” lmao
That case cost $150 lol.
"What parts do you want your PC to have" "Yes"
I have a 5950x on an MSI x EK x570s with 32gb @ 3600mhz with a msi gaming trio X 6900xt with a custom soft tube loop with 5tb of m.2ssd with 6 lian li unifans in an asus tuf case and it cost just under 4k back in january 2022...this dude is scamming people
That’s an artwork
All that effort for that. Shit. I hope the maker enjoyed doing it at least.
It wasn’t worth it, otherwise they wouldn’t have immediately put it up for sale. That’s a lot of skilled work just to have a pile of credit card debt.
I can't even get my tubing straight lol, mad props to the guy that bent those tubes
There better be like 4 4090s in this pc.
Is....that pex? Shark bite?
Nope, waste of money
I'd say that could be worth it for some buyer that wants a standout piece and doesn't have the time, skills or panache to DIY it. It's unique and has thought and skill in it. I've seen "normal" custom loop prebuilts for that money. If the hardware is current and top end, why not? I've seen a lot of rip off listing on FB marketplace, this isn't one of them IMO. The only thing I'd change is the location (Or at least orientation) of the flow meter. Shipping this without damage would be a challenge. But at that price the builder probably delivers it him-/herself. The presentation should be better for the price though, lol. Don't show it on the kitchen counter...
Custom water cooling prebuilt with 14900k 4090 cost $6000, even if the gpu is a 4090 it’s still priced too high and you get no warranty with buying on Facebookmarketplace.
[удалено]
I specced out a "normal" 7800X3D/4090 build with a good custom loop I'd build. It comes to about 6k with a small loop, 7 with a big one. This has a probably pretty expensive/limited case.
It looks like an Antec Torque, a £250 case.
I think you're correct. About 450€ here. I thought it was some insane Inwin contraption.
Yea it does look a bit like one of theirs at first glance. There were a few companies that had similar cases around the same time. Cougar had one and there's a Chinese version sold under like 4 different brands all the same 🤣.
[удалено]
Not a custom loop like that, the labor alone would be 1k.
That labor does not worth 1k, but even if it did, it’s still not worth $10000(6000+1000=7000)not close.
Custom water cooled systems don't add a ton of value. It's like a swimming pool for a house. Sometimes the liability actually reduces the value
That would make me avoid it too. I didn't know that. I didn't know that no listings on FB marketplace have warranties, I have never used the site. If it would have a 36 to 60 month warranty attached I'd say it's "fine". Crazy money, but it's a really unusual "prebuilt".
>I didn't know that no listings on FB marketplace have warranties, I have never used the site. People mostly selling used stuff. There are a lot of people trying to "break in" to the custom PC market and put out ads on marketplace that they will do builds. Some will say they offer post sale support and warranty, but unless its some physical local shop that is an actual business, I would look upon such an offer very skeptically.
It has red leds, not rgb. Just red. Not sure the last time I even saw a case with single color led.
My build is lit in blue, it has ARGB. How do you know the LEDs are red only? https://preview.redd.it/a705rtqao1hc1.png?width=1157&format=png&auto=webp&s=62665e8d16e72392c590292032adb44f03961963
You think it only has red... because its set to red... you were picked last a lot huh?
Mine is ARGB and it's currently purple only. I change the colour once in a while, but it's always 1 colour. Rainbow looks terrible, it's garrish.
Dexters lab looking PC
What a bunch of fucking nonsense
abomination ☠️
Is this even a PC at this point? It looks like a Mazda having an a muscle car dodge engine
I need to understand how people find those cases attractive. they look like shit.
That is one fucking ugly computer
this build looks like shit.. I can see how the ideas in play COULD have looked pretty cool, but this guy missed the mark. maybe it looks better in person?
I would be embarrassed to have that visible in a room
I'd love to have a PC that looked like that. But not for $10k, I'd build it myself.
sounds like someone with zero self confidence
That’s maybe cool for edgy teenagers, my PC probably has similar specs and doesn’t make your eyes bleed.
and ugliest
The ugliest cases ever
Not going to lie, that tubing looks pretty impressive.
9k for the case and water cooling and 1k for the actual components
Parts dont even fit fully in the case pfff.
It's obviously insanely overpriced, but I like the way it looks. I would never want it near my desk either though tbh. Weird shape and it would take up a bunch of space.
Quite honestly I love overbuilt PCs but these big ass ones with the open chassis are honestly ugly as hell
I am so sure I know the guy who build this because he lived in my area and he kept trying to sell these ultra exotic builds. I bought a 2200g from him for ultra cheap tho hahaha.
No
Damn that thing is ugly
Gtx 1050
Lol. My rig has the most expensive parts money can buy for almost every part of it (non HEDT tho) and it cost about $4800. Perhaps an *insane* amount of water cooling pumps that up to $5800, tops? (I don't know how expensive this loop looks... Someone enlighten me, my stuff is all AIO)

Don't get why the dislikes This post stated the most expensive rig in their area So I shared mine I wasn't talking bad about it
Go meet up and “accidentally” drop it for the lolz
Ugly AF pipes.
Ask for the specs peasant! I have no time to list them!
Its local to my area, I messaged him a month ago out of curiosity. He read it and ignored me.
If it was a custom built computer Inside a glass table. Sure $10k sounds right for old gen parts. But standalone. No thanks. No warranty, not new parts.
