Mousse Computer's Masterpiece V960XV1 gets down with GeForce GTX280

We're tempted to wonder if this Mousse Computer outfit is related to Mouse Computer (or if someone's S key was just acting up), but nevertheless, the Masterpiece V960XV1 is just one of the few rigs out right now with NVIDIA's potent GeForce GTX280 within. Aside from that gem, you'll also find a 3.2GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, 1.3TB of SATA hard drive space, a Blu-ray burner and an 11-in-1 multicard reader. Early estimates peg this one at €3,500 ($5,427), which is probably a fair price to pay to have your face melted completely off.

$5,427 to play CRYSIS.

[Jeff @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:59AM]

that thing better have 3 or 4 GeForce GTX280s for that much money...

at that price, you're damn close to a MacPro (with twice the processors) ...of course that's not to say the MP would play games better, just that it's a lot of money.

[Arttemis @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:02PM]

That is indeed a lot of money.

[Flashpoint @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:37PM]

the video card in there is good enough to get you CRYSIS in VERY HIGH settings..

ain't no MAc can do that.

[John @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:10PM]

That whole setup is about to tip over in all different directions!




(yes, I know it's in an overly dramatic three-point perspective)

[GenBanks @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:15PM]

That seems overpriced. My rough mental calculation for what you could assemble with that money would give me 3 GTX 280's, two 1tb drives and some custom watercooling.

[Sameer Surampalli @ Jun 23rd 2008 3:17PM]

Since when are Blu-Ray burners $800... more like $400.

[Nick Soapes @ Jun 23rd 2008 4:51PM]

@ Sameer
how much a blu ray burner costs all depends on the brand

would a $600 sony blu ray burner be more acceptable sameer naga...naga...naga work here anymore?

[Tom Robertson @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:28PM]

Priceless - classic :)

[GenBanks @ Jun 26th 2008 4:17AM]

You can't have two GTX 280's on an x48 motherboard :p
You need an nforce one like 680i/780i/790i ;)

[Kris Johnson @ Jun 23rd 2008 12:56PM]

Is it me or do PC manufacturers bring out all the new models in the summer? You have Dell, Asus and HP all coming out w/ brand new models within the last two weeks!

[Nick Soapes @ Jun 23rd 2008 1:05PM]

maybe because of graduation gifting and people buying new PCs for college....

[andi @ Jun 23rd 2008 1:13PM]

It's "Mouse" computers... you were fooled by the mistake in akihabaranews

[romanzy @ Jun 23rd 2008 1:46PM]

Please, please do a little research before you post a new article. First of all, it is not Mousse Computer, but Mouse Computer. If everybody starts copying and pasting, then the hell with all the blogs. I hate it when there are no URL's published. And what is it for news if nobody can't find MouSSe Computer? Better not to publish such articles as they have totally no sense.

Mouse Computer of Japan has gaming PC's and they are called 'GTune'. On the Website of Mouse Computer http://www.mouse-jp.co.jp/ you can find GTune, but here is the direct link http://www.g-tune.jp/

Damn!

[Matt @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:09PM]

And it's мышь computer in Russian...but they "have totally no sense" over there :p

[CJLopez @ Jun 23rd 2008 2:30PM]

You know, with all that money, i could feed my family for 2 months, buy some cosole video games for PS3 and 360 to keep myself entertained and live happily for a while.

This is exactly why pc gaming is coming to a death, or, only affordable to only a 10% of the gamers community

[GenBanks @ Jun 26th 2008 4:32AM]

Well first of all PC gaming's not coming to a death. Second of all, you don't need to spend that much. Throw a

[Tom Robertson @ Jun 23rd 2008 5:31PM]

Everyone is saying that you can get like xbox, ps3 and all this other stuff for this price, but to be hoenst how long do you think it will take for a computer like this to drop in price in about 1 year or so? And even if you do buy it now, think of how long it's going to last you!!

[thedesolate1 @ Jun 23rd 2008 11:19PM]

All that horsepower with that huge sticker on it and NO DDR3 RAM!? *FAIL*

[xValentine @ Jun 24th 2008 7:57AM]

Oh wait, so that's the price of the system alone and not the whole package in the picture ?

5 grand sure does not that big nowadays.. :(

[ChrisMizzleInfo @ Jun 27th 2008 11:03AM]

You want to give that comment a fourth try there bud?
It doesnt quite seem like you got all that.

[GenBanks @ Jun 27th 2008 11:07AM]

Uhm yeah... :( I had this long paragraph talking about the Radeon 4850 and what kind of performance you could get for less than $200, and the history of high end rigs, and how the high end doesn't kill the mainstream etc but for some reason only the first sentence appeared... After the third attempt I gave up :/
Oh well lol.
