When I got my TDRL (Medical Military stuff) money from the Marine corps I wanted instant gratification instead of waiting for a more powerful Gaming PC to be delivered. So I went to Best Buy and got the best thing I could find.
HP Elite
AMD Phenom II 1055T Six Core Processor
8GB DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6570 upgraded to Nvidia Geforce GTX550ti
1.5TB
LG Flatron IPS236 23" LED Monitor (Main/Game monitor)
Basic flat screen HP monitor 17" (Stream/Browser monitor)
Razer Lycosa
Razer Naga
Crappy Trittons, the White ones with red logo and extremely sensetive mic. :P
http://techreport.com/articles.x/22890/5 Nvidia has a lot better frame times in some of the games according to that test.
I've seen another report like that before but I can't seem to find it.

Your link is... curious to say the least. I was going to comment that their choices in games were providing a pretty bias POV, but somehow they've wound up with HD 7970s actually crowning the performance in Battlefield 3. That is odd. I'm gonna have to read more into this particular test.
Suddenly makes a lot more sense.
Anyway... we got three six-packs of monsoon compression fittings today. Chrome version. They look good, I have to admit, and you have no idea how much easier they are to work with compared to the normal fittings I've used in the past...
My brother isn't really into having a showy inside, so we never bothered with finding plugs that matched or anything. Though the more functional style this caused isn't too shabby looking. In the end, only two of the original compression fittings we used are left, mostly because that'd involve removing the rads in the bottom, which I couldn't be arsed to, and see no reason how they'd accomplish leaking under any circumstance.
Here is my comp, not a great picture, but my phones camera is a piece of junk and I'm bad at taking Pictures.

Looks pretty neat. Planning of perhaps doing something very similar with a 650D when I get to college, as I want a slightly smaller case than the Raven 01 in retrospect lol.
As for my watercooling in the 600T, I just use a 360+240 rad (quick roof mod and front mod, lol)... It's almost terrifyingly easy, just requires patience. ouo;
