The $800 comes with two rads and hoses and stuff...

the $1300 one will sell some units. After all there are people that buy Those $10-15K cars and then spend 2 years and 30 grand tricking it out.

@Witchy You are going to need a LOT more than 130W of TEC to cool GPUs and CPU(s) ...


EDIT: That magnum case is kinda messed up. Who puts front panel mid-low level front of a case that is DEFINTELY going to be sitting on a floor as far away from you as possible?

Dont care how you cut it... 120mm times 22 fans is going to be freaking annoyingly loud even with whisper quiet fans....

(think of an auditorium full of kids all whispering)

Other than that it is awesome

My elysium is freaking huge but it has a HDD tray on top as well as USB 2 and 3 ports another ESATA port as well as on/off buttons


Oh if you go with a case like that. For About $30-40 you can get a 4 in 1 5.25" bay drive adapter that will house up to 4 SSDs
A really good idea to make use of all those extra 5.25" bays

Also for about twice as much same thing but with a raid controller. (4 HDDs RAIDED and running off one SATA cable) so you could really have 10 2.5" HDDs and 2 SATA3 SSDs running off of Intel standard 6 ports

Patriot convoy 25 and 425 respectively are one model type but there are plenty of other options, even cheaper ones
