I like Darkness, but would be nice to have to option to change the 2500 with a 2600.

[HavocXphere]

Looking good.

I'd rather go for WD drives though...Seagate nerfing the hell out of their warranties does not inspire confidence. I suspect the Seagates will sell better though. :/

Does the last one really need a 800W psu?

[Wenzdayz]

Hey Mr J , nice looking rigs there hey!

WD also cut their HDD warranties over December, so It really doesn't matter, and although I prefer WD to Seagate, most parents/gamers will know the seagate brand better than the wd brand.

As for the Psu, That Psu offers insane value for money, I could go lower but it really won't alter the price that much, also guys buying high end rigs really want high wattage psu's.

Thanx hun


These are just from the Enthusiast line..There will be many different models available.
The Custom enthusiast line is my favorite, Those are the ones that'll have custom paint, custom cut panels, custom interiors.
Looking to do a couple of themed pc's as well

Will look into that for you bud.

I have a meeting set up for next week, going to see a couple places that do laser, plasma and hydra cutting.
Busy designing my own in house chassis with the help of a friend.

I think the idea of a custom/themed rig will appeal to a shitload of gamers to be honest. The ultra enthusiast range as well, I mean go big or go home is almost like a gamers motto, lol.

Good luck with the venture ...... it's scary starting something you're in charge of but it's very rewarding too.

Yeah just wanna do something different and the themed rigs will probably be the biggest sellers
Lots of planning has gone into this, just gotta stick it out and work my butt off lol


After Ultra high end there is another range of enthusiast rigs.
I am still working on the details of those..but they start at R30 000 and the sky is the limit xD

Pre over clocked and different cooling like water or set of aftermath coolers ?
