Biohazard Rapture desktop

The Biohazard Rapture is a cold rig. Im talking two Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors running below 0 degrees Fahrenheit cold. The Rapture shows off Biohazards multiple evaporator phase-change cooling system, which gives Biohazard the flexibility to freeze several CPUs or GPUs. Biohazard told us that this particular rig is designed for a PC performance enthusiast, so the builder chose to hook up the evaporators to the two Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors (overclocked to 4.6GHz).
The Rapture certainly had a wow factor when we turned it on. Before the system booted, we had to wait 30  seconds or so for the cooling system to bring the processor temperature down to  -20 F. A handy temperature display on the front of the case let us watch the Raptures temperature drop. The custom Biohazard case includes an aluminum shelf that separates the system into two chambersthe motherboard and the cooling/power chamber, respectively.
A clear side panel highlights the mother-board chamber, and the red interior lighting matches the red Biohazard logo on the outside of the case. Biohazard chose the Intel D5400XS eATX motherboard to take advantage of Intels Skulltrail platform. The Rapture also has two Evga 9800GX2 cards running in SLI and 4GB of SuperTalent DDR2- 667 memory. An LG Super Multi BD burner (GGW-H20L) is a solid choice for the optical drive. That being said, this case has plenty of room for a second drive or a card reader, and because this Rapture is designed for a performance enthusiast, we would have liked to have seen some extra I/O hardware in the system. The Rapture absolutely destroyed our processor benchmarks in SiSoftware Sandra Lite, and with a time of 31 seconds in Cinebench 10, it beat the second-best score by more than 20 seconds. In 3DMark Vantage, the Rapture posted the highest CPU score with 32508, but because 3DMark weighs graphics more than CPUand the 9800GX2 GPUs are obviously less powerful than systems with GTX 280s, its Overall 15,452 mark was last place. However, this Rapture configuration wasnt designed for the hardcore gamer (though it could be), so the disparity among results isnt surprising.
The phase-change cooling system alone made the Rapture a sweet system. This rigs benchmarks also showed that Biohazard knows how to use cutting-edge components for a specific purpose.
