Smooth HD SCinema Features Core 2 Extreme 9770 and 2 x GTX 280

BFG and SmoothCreations decided to create an uncompromised HTPC solution called "Smooth HD SCinema".

The novelty features an Intel Bonetrail (X38 Express) motherboard plus the Intel Core 2 Extreme 9770 CPU, today's most powerful. As for games, the machine offers a couple of BFG GeForce 280 GTX cards.



Other features include:

  • 8GB G.Skill DDR3 RAM
  • 2 Blu-ray drives
  • 10TB(!) of hard drive space (supposedly as NAS)
  • Silverstone 1000W PSU
  • Silverstone LC-18 enclosure
  • ATI 650 TV tuner
  • Samsung 50-inch FullHD plasma panel
  • Klipsch THX Ultra 2 speakers (costs ~10000 USD alone, see the photo below)
  • Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse

Imagine the price of this thing. The correct answer is below.



Smooth HD SCinema costs 19975 USD. Up for grabs!
