Biohazard sells 4.8GHz SkulltrailsThe Rapture brings cryo coolingBy Charlie Demerjian: Wednesday, 23 July 2008, 11:53 PMClick here to find out more!IF YOU ARE looking for a cost-is-no-real-impediment high-end computing powerhouse, Biohazard Computers has a new system for you.Enter the cryo-cooled Rapture, a custom built computer that has just about everything running at speeds that most people only dream about.Fast and coldAs you can see, it is a high end PC, in this case an Intel Skulltrail, with a vapor-cooling rig in the bottom of the case. You can cool two CPUs and two GPUs with the chiller in the Rapture, possibly more if you ask them nicely. Given that each one is custom built for the customer, you just have to ask for it and it will probably happen.The default clock on the Skulltrail system is 4.8GHz out of the box, which should be enough for most average web surfers and casual gamers. Biohazard goes for stability at speed, not just outright speed, so they could go higher if you need specific functionality. If you don't need massive GPU power, the system could be tuned for a bit more CPU speed, or conversely less CPU and more GPU if that is what you want.Make no mistake, this is a very expensive and very powerful system. It is not just a bunch of parts pulled off the shelf and slapped into a box. Biohazard took a long time engineering this system, we first got wind of it in late 2007, and Nova saw a prototype in February. Since the machines are just coming out now, you can be sure there was a lot of tweaking and engineering done to it in the mean time.In the end, what you have is most likely the fastest machine on the market, period. 8 cores at 4.8GHz is astoundingly fast, speeds that will not likely be reached for several years in 'normal' boxes. If you want one, call Biohazard now, but beware, they are not cheap.
