Hypersonic PC Sonic Boom ATS desktop / PC

Hypersonic PCs Sonic Boom ATS (Advanced Tactical System) uses a modified Silverstone TJ10 case that Hypersonic calls the Thunderbolt III. The case is coated in an automotive-quality Metallic Sonic Blue Reflexxion Series paint job, which added $590 to this PCs bottom line, but is well worth the expense. The side panel features a laser etched mirrored window. Blue is in abundance on the inside of this case, as well, with the Danger Den Hydrox Liquid Cooling setup pumping blue liquid through the CPU, memory, and northbridge. Two blue radiators feature strips of blue LEDs, and a third strip of LEDs adds a nice blue glow to the 5.25-inch acrylic reservoir that resides below the ODDs. The OCZ Flex II DDR3 contributes to the cramped interior of this PC, but having liquid-cooled memory is undeniably cool. You can add up to three additional HDDs, but the cooling system pump occupies the one spare 5.25-inch bay. If the price tag looks scary, consider that each SSD adds more than $1,000 to the price, and Hypersonic also shipped us the OCZ NIA (Neural Impulse Actuator) device, Logitech G5 mouse, and the $1,899 Optimus Maximum OLED keyboard. Three GTX 280s account formore than $2,100 of the Sonic Boom ATS budget. One area Hypersonic saved money in was by using the Asus Striker II Extremes Supreme FX audio module, which is bundled with the motherboard. Other system highlights include a 9-in-1 combo floppy and media card reader, a BD-RE drive, and 1.1TB of storage. With every PC, Hypersonic throws in a one-year warranty with 24/7 toll-free tech support. When running the benchmarks, though, the Sonic Boom ATS lived up to its name, literally, by being one of the loudest machines we tested, despite the liquid-cooling and foam-padded side panels. But Hypersonic managed to out-clock everybody by nudging the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 to 4.275GHz. The benchmarks tell the rest of the story. The Sonic Boom ATS blew past PCMark Vantage, posting the highest scores in the overall and every sub-test save TV And Movies, in which it came in second. This beast also bested every other contending system with its impressive P21758 3DMark Vantage score. Sandras Memory Bandwidth and WinRAR were the only tests in which the Sonic Boom ATS didnt perform well, but those tests were hardly enough to scuff the finish on this prized PC. Considering the competition, the folks at Hypersonic deserve the win for the Sonic Boom ATS on its performance alone. That Hypersonic managed to place in the top three in a majority of the benchmarks using the same hardware as everybody else makes the feat even more impressive. Its official: The Sonic Boom ATS sets the bar for luxury PCs.
