Sneak peek at this year’s Digital Life Dream PC

It’s that time of the year again.

I’m talking about when Digital Life rolls out the Dream PC – one of the favourite stories I get to do each year as a techie. This PC is the fastest, meanest and well, “best-est” machine that we put together using the top-end components that every geek would want to own.

Last year, we had an Asus Rampage II Extreme X58-based mobo with an Intel Core i7-965 and Corsair’s Dominator DDR3 memory modules in a monster rig. This year, though the leap has not been as big as from Core 2 to Core i7 or DDR2 to DDR3, we have some awesome graphics power packed in. And we have a biggie in terms of a new case to stuff all those goodies in.

Without giving too much away, here are some pictures of the components, as they were awaiting the big build. Look out for next Wednesday’s Digital Life, which is bundled free with The Straits Times, for a no-holds-barred, state-of-the-art PC that you can build with the best of today’s components.
