This is quite a system and I love it.  Everything in this system is everything I like about computers.  Its about cutting edge performance, the newest and baddest hardware, yet also about the best components for the value.  This system has it all with the Intel Q9550 and the ATI 4870 X2, currently the fastest card on the market.  All that great hardware is connected to the ASUS Rampage Formula X48 motherboard, currently the king of motherboards for running a CrossFire system.  While there is only one card at the moment, I am sure a second card will soon follow.

Other great hardware in this system include 4GB of OCZ's best memory, two hard drives for speed and reliability, and a Blu-Ray burner.  A nice and beefy 1000W Corsair PSU powers all this great hardware, and plenty powerful enough for that second video card.  All this is inside the roomy and cool Cosmos S, equipped with LCLC liquid cooling and low-noise fans.

We were able to achieve an overclock of 3.4 GHz from 2.83 using stock multiplier of 9.5x and FSB of 400 MHz.
