Gaming hot rod: liquid-cooled Holly computer

By Chris Stevens on 15 April 2005, 5:13pm

This arrived in the post today -- it’s one of the fastest gaming PCs on the face of this good earth. Like you - and perhaps me - this thing actually has a circulatory system. It’s not pumping blood though; it’s pumping liquid coolant. Pumping it like the world is about to end.

It's been crafted by the engineering team at Holly computers and wouldn’t look out of place on the cover of Max Power. We’re tempted to take it down to Tesco’s car park at midnight and rev its cooling fans to upstage the boy racers.

The Holly we've got our hands on is running an overclocked Athlon with two hugely powerful nVidia graphics cards. Cards that look more like a two-stroke engine than anything that would drive a monitor. Let's hope our building insurance is paid up.

We’ve not loaded any games up on the Holly yet, but it has been fun staring into its glowing belly and making little purring sounds. Expect a full review soon.
