iBUYPOWER already has itself a range of high-end Intel Core i7-based desktop systems as part of its Paladin line, but it seems there's always room for more.
Launched today is the Paladin XLC line - with the XLC standing for Extreme Liquid Cooling. The Paladin XLC is available in three models, and all are equipped with Asetek's 240mm radiator liquid cooling system - a solution that appears to be winning over many OEMs.
The Paladin systems offer a choice of CoolerMaster HAF chassis, Intel Core i7 processors, up to 12GB of DDR3 memory, and if you've got the moolah - up to three NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards in SLI.
What's interesting is that Asetek's liquid cooling solutions are quietly popping up left, right and centre. We've spoken to the cooling specialist's senior vice president of marketing Gary Baum, and he predicts "that the gaming market will soon go 100% liquid cooling and Asetek will be providing the majority of those units."
Sounds mighty ambitious, but we wouldn't be at all surprised to see Asetek-cooled systems on offer from all of the industry's big names in future.
As for iBUYPOWER's Paladin, prices start at $1,399 and skyrocket depending on specification. Here's the lowdown on the three available base configurations:
