The Antares TN-550SK now comes as standard with our new liquid cooling system and factory tuned processor as standard !

New SK series features:
- Features high end liquid cooling system as standard!
- completely safe non-conductive, non-toxic coolant
- Factory overclocked as standard with 36hr burn-in
- includes 24Hr full load (CPU+GPU) stability stress testing.
- Backed by 2 year system warranty as standard
- outstanding value for a properly liquid cooled PC, not a cheap all-in-one kit

With up to a 25% increase in CPU clock speed over stock, our new Antares will fly running the latest games, HD video applications or just general PC use.
Thanks to its big dual radiator this extra performance doesn't come at the cost of extra noise. The Antares is fully EuP compliant and sips power running simple tasks.
Packed full of loads of other great features including; NVIDIAs latest GTX 460 DX11 graphics card, OCZ low latency DDR3-1600 memory and a monster 2TB Fast Hitachi hard drive, the Antares TN-550-KO is a formidable Performance PC and still great value.

NOTE: For Dual graphics card configurations (SLI/CrossfireX) you will need to select a 900Watt or better PSU when you customise this system.
