Velocity Micro Refreshes Overdrive PC Brand in a 'BigBlock.GTX' Way
It's one thing to relaunch a PC series with refreshed components, as many system builders are doing now that Intel's Ivy Bridge processors and Nvidia's Kepler GPUs are both hot to trot, but it's another thing entirely to do it with the amount of awesomesauce Velocity Micro poured into its Overdrive BigBlock.GTX system that highlights the relaunch of the company's Overdrive PC brand.
Lest you think we're exaggerating, take a look at what baseline configuration consists of:
- Intel Core i7 3960X processor (liquid cooled and overclocked to 4.6GHz)
- Asus Rampage IV Extreme motherboard
- 32GB quad-channel DDR3-1600 memory
- 3 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards in SLI
- 2 x Intel 520 Series 240GB solid state drives
- 2TB 7200RPM hard drive
- Blu-ray burner
- Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatality
- 1500W power supply
- 100 percent aluminum chassis with custom fans
- Windows 7 Ultimate
"We’re always looking for new ways to revolutionize the desktop PC through our meticulous engineering to create a truly mind blowing customer experience. With the Overdrive brand, we’re able to continue to push that envelope," said Randy Copeland, President and CEO of Velocity Micro. "By giving our customers this extreme luxury option, the new Overdrive PC rounds out our line of ultra-performance desktops perfectly."
Awesomesauce like this doesn't come cheap, however, with a starting price of $7,999. You can shave a few digits by paring down the included accessories, like the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G110 and Razer DeathAdder mouse, and likewise, you can also spend more by playing with the various configuration options.
A BigBlock.GTX system configured today is estimated to ship on July 3, 2012.
