Default Velocity Micro E2250 Gaming Desktop -3.2Ghz quad water cooled, 9800GTX

I have a used Velocity Micro model E2250 desktop for sale. Velocity Micro is a custom high end computer builder similar to Alienware, Voodoo PC, or Falcon Northwest so they make quality, high performance computers.

It was purchased from Best Buy about 4 months back for $2100 and is still quite high end. You can see the specs at the best buy link below. As you can see Best buy is still selling it currently but at a marked down $1600 (so plus tax ~$1700 out the door currently).

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1204924952496

Here is two very positive reviews of the pc along with more high res pics:

CNet: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/vel...-32976268.html

PCMag: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2325690,00.asp

A condensed specs list is below:

- Brushed Silver Aluminum tower case with clear side window and three ultra quiet 120mm cooling fans.
- Intel Core2 Quad processor Q9450 with 4 processing cores, 1333MHz frontside bus, 12MB L2 cache and 2.66GHz processor speed per core. (Velocity Micro overclocks this CPU to 3.2GHz X 4 cores as is noted in the above cnet review).
- CPU Water cooling system with integrated 120mm radiator
- 4GB Corsair XMS PC2-6400 DDR2-800 memory
- LiteOn DVDRW/CD-RW drive - supports LightScribe direct-disc labels using compatible media
- LiteOn 16x DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive
- 15in1 card reader
- 750GB Serial ATA hard drives with 16MB cache (7200 rpm)
- NVIDIA EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX graphics with 512MB dedicated video memory dual DVI interfaces
- Windows Vista Premium (64bit with COA sticker)
- Includes original factory packaging, accessories, backup discs, and velocity micro gaming mouse/keyboard.

I am looking for $1250 .

Update: $900 now!

Thanks!

Forgot to mention, motherboard is Nvidia SLI capable, meaning there is a slot to add on a second graphics card to increase the graphical performance of the system if needed in the future.

Price drop... $999 + actual shipping takes it!

This computer is a beast guys... 3.2GHz quad core and a 9800GTX plus room for another 9800GTX if needed (the single 9800GTX was plenty to drive my 30" 2600x1600 res monitor). And thanks to the watercooling the computer is as silent as a Dell desktop with integrated graphics and a celeron!
