Hack-a-day Article

This thing has it all, my favorites is the dual beast video cards, the under-lit acrylic mounts for each component and the quad SSD & quad HDD.
Quote from "HAD"
"The six sticks of RAM, quad HDD/SSDs, and dual Radeon HD7970s are enough to make all but the most hard core gamer blush, but that was only the beginning here. Using a Dremel tool, Show4Pro cut the frame from a piece of hardboard and coated it with a mock-carbon fiber vinyl sheet. This backdrop acts to both hide the (many) cables and provide structural support to the components. Custom light guides cut from an acrylic sheet are back lit with LEDs and serve as a border for each of the components."

What's with the barbershop poles?

I want to say too, this has some similarities to QuizKid's build. But Quiz knocked it out of the park with the rustic and pure class look of the piping and well, everything else as well.
On this guys build the rubber hosing and candy stripe blue lit tanks just don't fit in.

Because the person likes swapping out dead hardware I'd guess. ;) I'm shooting at 50% failure rate in less than two minutes on those pos green drives.
