its a real computer. The ACtual case is a Vapochill (correct me if im Wrong) the three panel lcd monitor i have not freakin clue but wud be awsome to have. and i think the VFD has been mentioned on this site a couple of times. ive seen pics of it elsewhere. just and ull find something. anyone know where to get that monitor????
You can find that PC as well as some very cool servers and laptops on thier site at www.go-l.com . Never mnd the full loaded 3.8Ghz machine will set you back a cool $7900 and their sweet 92" wide monitor array is only $17,999.
there computers are godlike..... just wow and there lowest size 3 screen isnt THAT bad at 1799$ considering what it boasts, and pair it along with one of there computers... ur set for awhile
Hmmm, I'd tend to disagree with you there. Take a vapochill, replace CD drives with an LCD display and there you have it. Hardly original and not exactly a gargantuan modding effort. Macro Black, Advanced Ammo PC and Orac³ blow this clean out of the water in my opinion for both effort and originality.
this was the feature story in this months maximum pc. it runs at -21 degrees and is a 3.02ghz overclocked to 3.8ghz. some things maxpc did not like: wiring job...small hard drives. other than that, they said it was great. it costs somewhere around 8000 for just the tower
Re: Re: what kind of computer is this?? From what I read those computers have the most advanced cooling system ever, I don't think I've seen anyone get to 3.8ghz yet, and make it reliable enough to offer commercially and warranty it. Also astetics wise, this was the first time I have seen such a display on any computer. That thing certanly owns any other display hard. Orac, Ammo PC are really nothing new, just good executions of concepts already in use and already popular. I doubt Orac will have a cooling system to match that computer, and I doubt it will be able to over clock a p4 to 3.8. While all those LEDs are nice and all they are nothing new or speciall and ultimatly useless. That computer has all usefull mods, which is what I like anyway. Those computers are really a step above anything anyone here made, with the performance and the cooling and the display, and everything.
I'm afraid to say you are mistaken, the cooling system (VapoChill PE I'm guessing) can be beaten by a Prometia, and some of the guys over at xtremesytems have custom built cascade phase change cooling systems, how does lower than -100C sound? 3.8Ghz OC has been done many times over @ xtremesystems, it's just an overclocked P4 EE (I'm going on what I remember from their site, it's been a few months since I last saw it). As for slating Gnomes Orac, and Zaps Ammo PC, those are some of the more impressive mods that I've seen in my years browsing modding forums/galleries, that VapoChill case is nothing special, I find them hideous.
I have to agree with Arson et al. here, Flowers. That PC is just a standard Vapochill phase-cooling case with a nice 128 x 128 pixel LCD slapped in the floppy bay. Not original; people here (inc. myself) have been slapping 5" colour LCD screens in their Lian-Li floppy bays for ages now. To wit: As for the 17" x 3 monitor screen, some company in the States (I'd have to look up the link, but I've visited the site) has been making those for over a year. Thing is, you'd need the latest Matrox to drive three screens, and that Matrox, athough a capable card, is not fast enough to keep up with more recent games. So a games PC it ain't. All that CPU speed would be wasted... In that respect it's better to have one really big screen, say a 20". Lookie here (and this one is still under development): Enough said?
Re: Re: Re: what kind of computer is this?? My prometia will get a selected P4 chip to 3.8 with ease, and for that price applying a warranty is nothing special, all they would do is replace the chip if it went wrong. Leaving them still a tidy sum in their pocket. Not their design though, It's an off the shelf LCD/VCD. Show me Orac's predecessor and an ammo PC as well finished as Zapwizard's. But the point of modding is originality and personalisation, what they have done is hardly trend setting and not likely to spawn hundreds of similar designs. As for the overclocking, a 3.8 overclock is hardly revolutionary with a vapochill. Personal opinion. If you like an idea then implement it. If you like 30 running LEDs, then put 30 in your case. And as for doing something special, the LCD/VCD cant really do much more then any other LCD/VCD with the right software. I doubt very much that you would win any prizes anywhere for putting that monster on display. It's like the Bang and Olufsen of the PC world. Looks good, sports all the features but ultimately lacks any originality as anyone can buy one, it's a premodded PC. As for features, 12 months down the road and it will be out of date anyway.
Flowers I know Gnomes has put a lot of LEDs in to Orac3 but theres a hell of alot more to it. All the detail and shower hose orac3 is not totally new but its a hell of alot better then that rig. Maybe not in speed but on this forum speed is not everything.
I heard that contest was a sham, to harvest e-mail adresses.. has anyone won yet? The hardware on that case is nice but hardly revolutionary, Don't all Hi-end vid cards have both analogue and digital out? I believe they make pci based graphix cards that can run the thrid monitor, For the price of those monitors I would just by 3 digital projectors, or 3 off the shelf lcd screens they aren't really that special infact aren't the 19" sony lcd that has had the frame modified?
http://www.go-l.com/desktops/machl38/features/index.htm any thats the fully loaded one havent had a chance to really read about it just have a few questions ive heard of being able to hoock up 2 monitors but how would you hook up 3 if it has enough ram and a very good video card with the dvd burner that would be all any one would need oh + high speed network of online service
Metarinka is right, btw; the contest is an e-mail trap. Don't bother applying. In order to get a surround view, as is the purpose of the three-in-one monitor, a Matrox Parhelia AGP card is required; the only one on the market thusfar that supports three screens --although that is about to change.
Actually Nexxo, you're wrong. You can easily get a 4-monitor setup with a dual-head AGP card and a dual-head PCI card that performs hella better than a Parahelia (did anyone actually buy one?).
I know that. But it won't get you surround-view in, say, Quake or Half-life. All you have is an extra-wide desktop in Windows. The Matrox Parhelia is unique in that it supports games to actually have a seemless left-front-right field of vision. Anyway, people wanting to know more about this type of monitor can visit :here:. It is not the only company that makes them, but I can't find the other link right now... EDIT: :here:'s the link I was looking for. These are the monitors that come with the Lieberman systems discussed here. They sells the triple 15" monitor for $1600,-- and the triple 18" for $3100,--.
