    Are you building it yourself or did you order it from Cyberpower?

    OK- I am getting Zelocity tracker v2 with holiday golf. Will my Asus EP121Slate (i5 4gb RAM and intergrated Intel GMA HD Graphics) have enough grunt?

    That was certainly the goal. Next step is to build a stance platform with a cutout for the PX2. Bought my first circular saw over the weekend so hopefully I'll still have 10 fingers this time next week

    Nice build. Notice the GTX 570 - very similar in comparison to the RADEON 6970 2GB. Basically it looks liike 6970 ~=570/580 and 6990 ~- 590 if not very close.

    Curious why you went with the 1200w power supply? I am looking at getting mine upgraded from 700 to 1000 based on recommendations from cyberpowerpc.com after purchase but several members are suggesting that is too high.

    Very similar build as yours just I have a smaller power supply and I went with the upgrade to 2700k I7 overlclocked to 4.5ghz which the upgrade and overclock charge at the time to do that was $150.

    is there any reason for the liquid cooling? I would suggest low noise fans as in my experience liquid cooling and electricity dont mix. On the other hand carpet and the blue liquid coolant mix very nicely and make great non removeable stains.

    i can only speak for my build. the radeon 6970 is big gpu that generates a lot of heat. i also went with the $150 upgrade to go from a i5 2500k to an i7 2700k overclocked to 4.5ghz. when you overclock the cpu the cooler the better. they "k" series are designed to be overclocked from the standard spec. the 4-5 air fans are good in general but in this case the liquid cooling also covers the cpu and gpu and keep them cooler. some only cover the cpu but you can choose one that does both.

    on the computer forums starting to see people safely overclock the 2700k over 5ghz. i personally don't now how to do this and plan on staying away from it. it was much easier paying someone a nominal fee to do it and insure it runs safely. cyberpowerpc.com will overclock up to 30% of the cpu base speed to insure they have no issues.

    the coolant is sealed and is clear liquid in my case.

    regarding the sound they have ~$30 upgrade where they will 1) put extra sound protection around the power supply, gpu, and cover the inside of the case with cushion. thought it may be marketing but tired it. since i got these with the tower coverd its not noisy.

    No specific reason other than I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. With all the simulator equipment, cameras, etc. running through the computer's power supply, I decided to beef up the PSU. It's probably overkill but wasn't much more expensive than a 1000W unit.

    Seeing this thread is 3 years old. Have the recommendations changed? If you could or have replaced yours what would you get today or what have you upgraded to?
