The British computer maker Scan has built the fastest PC system, the 3XS Great White, and the company seems to be quite proud of its achievement. The new machine packs up the latest technology, as well as the most cutting edge consumer hardware and innovation, with the most impressive amount of development to ever be put into one system alone. The 3XS Great White features an NVIDIA SLI Mainboard, Intel CPUs, Corsair Dominator memory, and Triple SLI NVIDIA overclocked graphics, all racked inside a 3XS modified Chrome chassis that comes with Scan's own cooling system design.

 

The Silverstone TJ07B case hides a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDD (as well as two 64GB OCZ SSDs), a 4.4GHz overclocked Core 2 Quad Q9650 CPU running on the EVGA 790i Ultra SLI motherboard, 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair Dominator, DDR3 PC3-16000 (2000) NVIDIA VGA-The Way It's Meant To Be Played, three 1GB XFX GTX 280 XXX, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), Mem 2500MHz GDDR3, GPU 670MHz, 240 Cores GPUs and, among other things, enough LEDs to light up a small room. The result is a machine that can easily dominate Crysis, although the price may seem a little too high for some, as it goes up to no less than $20,225.

 

Specifications of the 3XS Great White can be found on the system's page. The features that Scan offers for the machine are more than astonishing. This PC was surely built to impress, and it does so both in what concerns computing power and in terms of good looks. The performance levels and speeds it reaches shadow the high price tag it comes with.

 

As soon as the news about the system spread around, test results appeared as if from nowhere. According to CustomPC, "Combined with the image editing and multitasking test results, the Great White scored 1,772 overall, making it the fastest commercially available PC ever!" You can find the fully detailed specifications of the machine on the 3XS Great White's page.
