I find myself more curious about that 27" G-Sync display, personally...

The GPU is not really on the same level as the other hardware.

Looks like the X51 is using a similar water cooler to the Corsair Bulldog.

So it does. Corsair have been billing the H5SF as custom designed for their Bulldog chassis, but it may just be a rebadged OEM design. Could be fallout from the Asetek/CoolIt spat?

It's a modified datacenter design: http://www.asetek.com/data-center/data-center-coolers/internal-loop/

What the hell is up with the GPU? 2000$ for a PC with a GTX 960? Who on earth would buy that?

 

[Phuncz]

Because Alienware ?

Luckily they've not used those small Delta fans or people would also enjoy "the sound of a datacenter"

Wow, I knew they were high RPM but I didn't expect up to 17,000 RPM http://www.delta-fan.com/ProductSeries.aspx?seriesname=GFB

And each 1U typical rack server has about 7 of these

When our three servers in the office building are running hot (high ambient), you can hear them clearly through 2 closed doors with about 20m of corridor in between.
