   Custom Gaming System - CoolerMaster HAF 932 / Intel E8600 OC / ATI 4870
Some customers have a vision into what the most beautiful should look like.  They select the options on our website and we start to build it.  We then realize just how awesome a computer some of these systems really are.  This system was chosen and configured by an actual customer and we are displaying it here for your viewing pleasure.

Now the first thing you will notice in this system is the new case from Cooler Master.  This case is called the HAF, and it is quite different.  First, it was designed from the ground up to be liquid cooled.  Up top, there is a hidden fill port for your reservoir.  Then you will notice the few inches of space between the motherboard and the top of the case.  This is for the very large radiators are customer especially like to use.

The great wiring management is possible due to the ATX motherboard and EATX case sizes.  We are able to achieve our best looking wiring whenever we put an ATX motherboard in an EATX case.  Besides the case, fairly regular build with a top-end dual-core Intel processor that has been highly overclocked.  Inside you will find all the popular components like the Xigmatek CPU cooler and the Samsung DVD-RW optical drive.  As you will notice, the mother is an X48 and the PSU is 1000 watts and there is only a single 4870.  I am sure that this system will be completed with another video card very shortly.

We were able to achieve an overclock of 4.0 GHz using the stock multiplier of 10x and a FSB of 400.
