We took a break from our regular daily grind (of making the most awesome computers in the world…) and shot a video of the Destroyer GamingPC. It’s our favourite machine and features a highly overclocked I7 2700k at 4.8Ghz, 32 gigs of DDR 3 ram and an Nvidia GTX 680 4GB.

It’s watercooled, tuned to perfection and we take our time to make sure that everything, from the power supply, to the motherboard, is up to GamingPC.ca’s standards.

If we could only take one item on a desert island… it would be a cell phone to get the hell out of there! If we could take two… then it would be a Destroyer and a cell phone with tethering so we could have wireless gaming sessions while we wait to be rescued!

This machine was so massive that we needed to custom mod the case in order to fit the massive triple radiator required to cool both processors. We used one of the biggest radiators available and stuck it between 6 ultra quiet 120mm fans to create the most amount of airflow (and therefore cooling capacity of this watercooling system.

The result, 2 overclocked 6 core processors running at speeds of above 4.5Ghz, 100% stable during our 48 hour stress test process.

Of course, it also has over 4 Terabytes of space, 2 GTX 690 videocards and all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a machine of this size.

I’ll take two please!

We’re taking it to a whole new level with this computer. Probably the fastest machine we’ve ever built (to-date), featuring dual Xeon processors (both overclocked), custom watercooling, 64 GB of DDR3 ram and SLI GTX 690 videocards.

This is one crazy machine that will be used for both gaming and video encoding. We suspect the owner will have bragging rights for quite a while with this monstrous system. We love putting these together!

More pictures coming soon.

Well that’s it, we’re happy to announce that we’re very close to announcing our picks for player sponsors and that we’re also going to be supporting local Canadian tournaments.

One of these upcoming tournaments (still in the planning stage) will be hosted by Playhem which is the central for online tournaments. Right now… we’re doing the fun part, trying to figure out what prizes to give away and the theme of the tournament!

So, a little recap:

– We’re going to sponsor 1… maybe 2 Canadian semi pro-gamer.
– We’re going to sponsor 1… maybe 2 Canadian gaming tournaments.

And that’s just the beginning. It’s our way of jumping into the e-sports scene and supporting the gamers that support us.

If you have suggestions for tournaments, please list them below in the comments and let us know what you think!

We want to thank the gaming community for their support and provide a few updates to those who have asked.

First, we want to thank the participants on /r/starcraft for providing so many great suggestions (along with reasons for why we should sponsor X player/event)

Names that have been throw around (without any particular order):

Players
Scarlett, Hendralisk, Tubbythefat, Spyte, Desrow, TT1, Slush, Drewbie,DDE, Maximusblack

Events:
Playhem Tournaments, Z33k Tournaments

So now we’re evaluating all the possibilities and figuring out what the best options are in terms of sponsorship. We are basing our decision on reputation, exposure, ‘up-and-coming’ performance and of course, fan loyalty.

From a business point of view, we would like to recommend the process and encourage other gaming companies to jump on the bandwagon and help e-sports out. In order to encourage other companies to follow suit (so we can sponsor all our Canadian gamers), here are our stats after mentioning sponsorship:

We also want to thank Stuart who purchased a Battlecruiser computer from us based on our support of Esports… and Jack who purchased a Bullet computer (with a GTX 660Ti upgrade woo!) from us as well. You’ll be happy to know that your purchases will go directly towards supporting the e-sports community.

We support gamers…
Gamers support us…
And together, we both support the growth of E-sports.

We don’t just use normal water in our high end water cooling systems. In order to protect your system of any mishaps, we use an industrial reverse osmosis machine to remove all the minerals inside the cooling water.

This means that if, for any reason, the cooling water ever did come into contact with any electronic components, it would not conduct electricity (and therefore, no components would be affected.)

This is just one extra fail-safe that makes our watercooling systems the best on the market.

Notes:
– Regular water also works in our systems but we prefer and recommend de-mineralized water.
– Our water cooling systems are bolted, fastened and stress tested with re-enforced tubing and braces. In other words, they are built to endure even the most difficult conditions.
– Special additives are added to our water cooling systems in the winter when shipping in sub-zero temperatures.

Here at Gaming PC, we’re proud to support e-sports and want to give back to the community. Please use the comment box to provide suggestions for any players, tournaments and events that you feel might be appropriate for Canadians!

Right to the point: We love /r/Starcraft and figured the best way to support it (along with getting additional exposure for our high-end gaming computers) would be to sponsor a player and/or tournament.

We aren’t a huge company, but we know that without gamers like you, we wouldn’t exist. So this is our way of giving back.

We prefer a player because we feel it’s more personal (instead of just having a banner at a tourney or something) and since we’re a Canadian gaming company we thought it would be appropriate to sponsor a Canadian.

We though, of all places, /r/starcraft would be the place that would know who could use it the most. After all, this is the place that helped sponsor MKP and Crank.

Let’s do it!

We believe that if we can bring both manufacturers and gamers closer together, it will be a win-win situation for everyone.

Leave a comment down below and let us know what you think!

Here’s a beautiful PC shipping out today, it’s the Destroyer featuring a black and orange design.
It’s currently our favourite design!

If you’re looking for a machine that packs a punch and plays all your games, then this is it. 4.8Ghz, Nvidia 680 GTX, 32 gigs of ram… we couldn’t be more proud to be shipping these machines out!

If you would like to customize any Gaming PC to have the new Nvidia 660 Ti videocard, let us know via email, phone or live chat. They are fast, inexpensive and provide a great gaming experience.

Obviously, since we already have GTX 680 videocards in many of our systems, we’ll be keeping those by default but if you ever want to downgrade (tsk tsk), then let us know!

The difference between the custom water cooling system built at GamingPC and the one that you can buy in the stores is huge. We decided to show the difference in a series of water cooling videos that illustrate the various components used in our water cooled systems.

The first in the series is the “standard pump” (Taken directly from an ‘all-in-one’ kit) versus the pump used in Gaming PC systems.The difference is huge!
