You may remember on the DARWINmachine Hammerhead PC HMR989, a hand-assembled concoction that’s the closest thing to a cubist painting a desktop may ever get. It didn’t have the latest and greatest in components, but boutique builder Pure PC has rendered that criticism moot by jamming new Intel and Nvidia parts into the Hammerhead chassis and redubbing it the Pure Luxury PC.
While the original Hammerhead cost a “mere” $2,900, the Pure Luxury PC tips the pricing scales at a cool $9,500. For that price, you do get the fastest desktop CPU available, the six-core Intel i7-990x Extreme
Edition, along with the top Nvidia graphics card two GeForce GTX 580s in SLI configuration. Somehow, Pure PC managed to find room for a third card if you choose to add it later. You also get 12GB of RAM, a pair of 128MB solid state drives, two 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black 7200RPM hard drives, and a Blu-ray burner.
If you must spend more than $ 10,000 on your newest system, custom options include a blue chassis instead of the default red, overclocking the processor to 5GHz, and that third graphics card for 3-Way SLI. Either way, it will ship in a custom hardware case (maybe which an inventive DIYer could try to fashion into his or her own radical PC design).
The PurePC has blended post-modern PC performance with a contemporary sculptural aesthetic. With a layered, open, and precision-engineered chassis fabricated by Darwin Machines that minimizes spatial
footprint, yet remains a commanding centerpiece with architectural design. Beautiful modern materials with a unique color palate and composition. The custom chassis is either a red or blue brushed anodized aluminum frame, which also doubles up as a huge heat sink for components attached to its central backbone.
Functionally, Pure Luxury houses the brand new Intel i7 990x overclocked to 5ghz, fitted to the Asus X58 Rampage III motherboard – with two Nvidia GTX 580, and room for a third. Hyper X T1 memory keeps this futuristic machine at futuristic speeds with 12GB or 24GB .
Two terabytes of Western Digital hard drive’s and a pair of Kingston V+ Solid State drive’s ensure there is nearly no limit to storage or speed. Burn HD/3D blu-rays or keep things ultra simple with the 24-in-1 media card reader. You also can burn blu-ray HD/3D on this super computer. The whole beautiful package runs at a heartbeat quiet 30 decibels and at astonishingly low temperature threshold between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius.
But PurePC couldn’t put all the effort into looks and performance.
There had to be support. That’s why every beautiful nut and bolt is covered under PurePC’s incredible standard of support. Forever. As long as it exists, so does its coverage. PurePC has poured its own fantasies and desires into its Pure Luxury statement. PurePC’s passionate and gifted engineers have realized those lofty ambitions and performance goals, but more importantly they’ve challenged themselves with Pure Luxury. Art and technology take this innovative Darwin Machine design to the next level of power performing super-computer with PurePC.
One other thing you get is a lifetime warranty, which probably isn’t too much to expect for the amount of money you’re spending. Give credit where it’s due: Pure PC has turned the Hammerhead into a more lust-worthy object than the original, though it priced it even more out of reach to design-conscious enthusiasts
