Digital Storm targets PC enthusiasts with exclusive HydroLux cooling solution. The HydroLux has High-flow pumps will push over 300 gallons of cooling fluid across the CPU and graphics cards every hour. You will have to pay a good 1,084

Let's suspend disbelief for a moment and pretend that you're willing to drop a grand on your PC's cooling system -- that's the kind of cash you'll need to set aside for the HydroLux from Digital Storm. The system combines liquid and air cooling, a control board and a bevy of sensors, along with custom software that puts you in command of your PC's thermals. High-flow pumps will push over 300 gallons of cooling fluid across the CPU and graphics cards every hour, which is augmented by an airflow system that can adjust dynamically, operate quietly or act as a wind tunnel. As a nice touch, you'll also find LED lighting throughout the rig that serves as a quick visual indicator of the heat levels within your PC.

The HydroLux is a new upgrade that's exclusive to custom PCs from Digital Storm, and it's available immediately across the company's desktop lineup. You'll pay $1,084 for single graphics card setups, on up to $1,994 for monsters that rock four GPU cards. Feel free to check out Digital Storm's website and peruse the system; you don't have to return to reality just yet.

For being so expensive they should really put some more effort into the tubing not just have them loop around and cross over each other all over the place.

 

haha yea, the loop in the pic kinda seems rushed :)

Check out the build: Used to be Obot, now Lilith

Shameless: Me

Wow this looks very advanced. But with that many tubes there might be a chance where a leak could happen. Like the LED thermal feature because it gives people how hot the system is running by looking at the leds.

so 2000$ of ugly mess of tubes or save 2000$ for next gen gpus since stock 780 cooling is enough... tough choice... not

if you spend that kind of money at least make it look nice...
