mach I

[Jrocket]

Im am thinking about getting a mach I around next fall when i get my next rig. I was wondering where i could find the best deal, what the best price im going to find is, and also if yall think the price will drop by the time im ready to buy? While im at it i was also wondering... what you guys with machs use on your vcs? I want to get two machs but i wont have the money for that. So i was thinking about watercooled... possibly with tecs, however tecs are kind of a hassle and regular water doesnt get great temps.
Thanks
Jrocket :p:

Most ppl use water on their gpus and some build a phase-change cooler for it and some buy prommys for it

Edit:hardware gods has it for $499

Thanks for the super quick response! Well im looking through the links and 500 aint to bad, but im hoping to find cheaper like 400 or under if possible. If i have to i will buy it for 500 though. I have considered watercooling the video card while maching the cpu. However i figure to watercool the vc i have to get a pump radiator and everything that i would for the cpu. And if i spend a little bit more i could also tec water cool the cpu. I would like to wc my vc (I would really like to phase change it but that wont be happening for a while) but my budget is getting kind of tight. That is with the new cpus and vcs coming out at some high prices. I guess it is really a personal decision but if anyone has any suggestions, ideas, or deals please tell me.
Thanks

i live like 30min away from hardware gods!!! so nice;) but would u guys believe me when i say ive never been there:confused: lol i gata make a pit stop over there...but i might leave with an empty wallet:rolleyes:

[Jrocket]

Yeah hardware gods has some awesome stuff there! But the problem is most of there stuff is overpriced. *sad*

i dont think by next fall there will be new M1s around in stores...you'll have to go second hand on that

[Maxprime]

XTwerks has treated me very well - they currently have a $75CAD discount on top of the price (with CPU kit - hardware gods kit is not) with free shipping.

Essentially I got a Mach I w/ everything I'll need for $475US shipped to my door.

[mrzee]

By next Fall, there will be a Mach 3 and Mach 1 will be out of production. Probably be an nVentiv water cooling kit too.

[JCviggen]

lol no way in hell not a watercooler!

besides M1 production already stopped when the M2 was launched.

[Jrocket]

Thanks yall. 475 with kit sounds good! thanks maxprime! Oh yeah and by the waying i will probably be buying it in the spring or at latest the summer not fall. However now that yall mention it... when is the mach 3 coming out? Also i dont think i will but i have thought about custom building. does anyone have a good link for building a custom?
Thanks

Custom building is quite a project. I would suggest doing what I'm doing - buy yourself a Mach I and get into phase change cooling. If you want to go further, mod your Mach I. If you want to go further - take some time and build a unit.

[NaHeMiA]

Actually I would suggest no other then kit-tronics.com

These are the same guys where I got my Mach2 for $760 shipped!!!! (w/ lcd and enlight case and cpu kit)

They have the topless (lol) mach1 w/ cpu kit for $520 shipped
mach1 w/ enlight case for $580 shipped

shipping is free to u.s. and its also tax free
