Hardcore PC’s Reactor Is Cooled By A Vat Of Oil

I don’t worry about heat very much on my main gaming rig, since I have a liquid cooling unit in place. Even with a modestly overclocked CPU, my self-contained cooling unit does the trick. However, if you’re the kind of person that needs to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of a machine, then check out this Reactor unit from Hardcore PC.

Normally, I’d be quick to jump all over a name like “Hardcore PC”, but I actually think that these guys totally deserve that name. I can think of few computers that are more hardcore than this one. Every component, from the motherboard to the hard drives (SSD drives of course!) is submerged in a vat of cooling oil. This is likely to be the most effective way to cool your system, save directly blasting it with liquid nitrogen.

Hardcore PC isn’t quite ready to launch these awesome rigs just yet, but when they are released in the near future, you’re going to have to shell out $4,000 for the lowest configuration, all the way up to $10,000 for the top-of-the-line parts. No, I would never spend that much on a computer, but damn would it be cool to have one of these.
