My Ultima Envy V2

Khazzer · 18 Jun 2013 at 21:10

I had the noise dampened version of the Obsidian case and the SoundBlaster Zx. Haswell Core i7 4770K @4.6GHz, 16GB 2133 DDR3, Asus GTX780 3GB and Samsung 840 SSD. Most of all it's fast, quiet and its green.

Well packaged, even courier-proof:

Neat workmanship:

Colourful and works well:

Nice rig
what was the damage of that beauty?(£)

Khazzer · 18 Jun 2013 at 22:34

I'll let you work that out for yourself, the minor mods to the base spec I made didn't make too much difference.

Fantastic system!

I feel like the guys in Independence Day when the green/blue lights come out to blow stuff up.

Wooooooooaaaaahhhh, it's beautifuuuuuul.

its at a good price at the moment - is that temporary?

Khazzer · 19 Jun 2013 at 10:20

Yes, the price has certainly dropped since I ordered mine. I would certainly say it is very good value at that price.

I waited 2 weeks trying to get a system with an i7 and a good overclock with a GTX 780 under £1400 and never really looked at this because it was a high overclock and I stupidly thought it had a 770. Everything else I tried came to ~ £1500. Couldn't believe it when I clicked on it the other night just to absolutely rule everything out and it had a GTX 780! Pretty much placed my order on the spot when I saw it.

As far as I'm concerned this is the best value system on Overclockers and nowhere will beat it for price.

Also just called Overclockers there to change the case to the noise dampened version after I saw this post

Khazzer · 19 Jun 2013 at 12:48

It is quiet anyway, but I'm sure the noise dampening helps. The only times I really notice the noise is when the PSU fan cuts in, but that doesn't happen often and it is only for a short time. Temperatures are reasonable too, for me the GPU sticks to 80 in Haven Valley and the CPU is around 70-75 running Prime95.

I've just ordered my self one of these.
I already have a BD burner and was wondering if overclockers has an open case policy.

Khazzer · 20 Jun 2013 at 09:50

OCUK seem to have no issue with you adding or changing components yourself and actually encourage it if you wish to do so, after all selling components is their main business. I have already added 2 more drives to my machine (ones I already had from a previous system I built myself).

fiveub · 20 Jun 2013 at 09:52

We understand that you want to upgrade your system. So it is fine! - As long there is no extreme modding etc.

NathWraith · 20 Jun 2013 at 09:53

epic system man! We just had this system reviewed in August's issue of Custom PC and it got 90%

I do love the green lighting

NeoReloaded · 20 Jun 2013 at 21:53

Well mine turned up today... with no disc drive :mad:

Can't even get online as I need to install the network adaptor drivers from the Gigabyte disc! Fuming is an understatement right now!!
