Biohazard sells 4.8GHz Skulltrails
The Rapture brings cryo cooling
IF YOU ARE looking for a cost-is-no-real-impediment high-end computing powerhouse, Biohazard Computers has a new system for you.
Enter the cryo-cooled Rapture, a custom built computer that has just about everything running at speeds that most people only dream about.
Fast
and cold
As you can see, it is a high end PC, in this case an Intel Skulltrail, with a vapor-cooling rig in the bottom of the case. You can cool two CPUs and two GPUs with the chiller in the Rapture, possibly more if you ask them nicely. Given that each one is custom built for the customer, you just have to ask for it and it will probably happen.
The default clock on the Skulltrail system is 4.8GHz out of the box, which should be enough for most average web surfers and casual gamers. Biohazard goes for stability at speed, not just outright speed, so they could go higher if you need specific functionality. If you don't need massive GPU power, the system could be tuned for a bit more CPU speed, or conversely less CPU and more GPU if that is what you want.
Make no mistake, this is a very expensive and very powerful system. It is not just a bunch of parts pulled off the shelf and slapped into a box. Biohazard took a long time engineering this system, we first got wind of it in late 2007, and Nova saw a prototype in February. Since the machines are just coming out now, you can be sure there was a lot of tweaking and engineering done to it in the mean time.
In the end, what you have is most likely the fastest machine on the market, period. 8 cores at 4.8GHz is astoundingly fast, speeds that will not likely be reached for several years in 'normal' boxes. If you want one, call Biohazard now, but beware, they are not cheap. µ

So no mention of what card it has?
So no mention of what card it has?Why? Because you're an nv-hater mr.DAAMIT salesman?

that pic looks much more impressive than what is under the bonnet of my car!!Good point that.
Why no mention of the Graphics card?Cobblers!
Charlie clearly states that each rig is custom built (what part of that do you not understand?) so you can have any card you like!
.
He hasn't mentioned the card's it has, possibly because its the customers choice which card('s)they have put in it.Why don't you check the link before making stupid comments?
It's Highly Configurable
In response to the above comment, if you actually check out the link and have a look at the site, you'll see that the internals are highly configurable. Whilst the picture above would appear to show 2x GT280s, you can quite happily request 2x 4870s or many other combinations. I'm sure they'll add 4870X2s once they become available too. So Charlie isn't really doing anything wrong here, whereas you are just trying to nail him to a cross.If you're going to be harsh, you've got to be fair. Jumping to conclusions like that is not a habit I'd recommend, if you can learn to avoid it. I mean, the site will happily let you pick AMD chips too, so would we accuse Charlie of an Intel bias here? Of course we wouldn't as it wouldn't make sense to do so.
@FUdo
Or maybe it's because you can select cards from either the red or the green team. Is that to hard a concept for you to understand?Come On Man, How Much?
Money is NO Object, SLI that price sticker, theINQ will even Throw in Mike Magee.Wow.4.8 pretty Cool.However, Todays TOP Freezers are expected to go 6.4 Ghz/s.Ahso, wasn't this written & published here 28Feb'8?
