email to a friendiBUYPOWER 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:

looks pants imo...
Did you actually read the article or did you just look at the pictures and make your decision, or are you possibly from a rival retailer?
I think the system looks pretty decent and certainly wouldnt mind owning one.
Infact having gone looking at the system on the website I would say its actually pretty awesome, loads to be configured and think the LCD display on the front looks the business.Quote

I think some of the Beast systems looks great.
well that was answered quicklyQuote
I asked if you read the article or just looked at it before you commented.
You replied with:-
I think some of the Beast systems looks great. iBuypower's site is terrible, I get lost there easily and it isn't interesting. I think it looks cheap and that might be because there aren't any proper pictures of it (interiors etc)....

Got it yet? No?
Let me explain.
He hadn't mentioned that you worked for Beast, infact it hadn't been mentioned at all, so where you got the need to mention Beast from is anyones guess. :s
So basically, yes you did answer my question as to whether or not you had actually read the article or not, and then your last post just confuses things even more,
lol, I don't know anyone from Beast (and I'm sure they can confirm that) and I've never bought anything from them BUT yeah I did "just look" at the system as the spec isn't that important from the view that if you pay for it you'll get anything you want inside it.
Again, no one said you worked for Beast...so please, if you are going to post on Hexus (which is a great community) then please actually make the effort to read the article first and seem as if you actually pay attention.Quote
