The Zeus product line is driven by two Intel Xeon® X5680 Westmere processors for a total of 12 cores (24 threads!) under the hood. If you need parallel processing and incredibly fast crunching power, you can't get more horsepower than what the Zeus product line offers.
The Zeus Glacier previously was enclosed within a 27 cubic foot Moutain Mods case with a very expensive Dual Vapor Phase Change cooler. You needed to plug in three separate power cords to get the older Glacier model running!
With some notable advances on the forefront of Liquid Refrigerant Cooling, and with the advent of the popular Little Devil cases becoming more readily available in North America, it was time to consider a redesign.
On April 18, 2011, Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking released the Multi-Radiator (three Quad Rads!!) Liquid Cooled version of the Zeus Glacier. With ample room inside for multiple radiators, multiple reservoirs, and plenty of space for multiple cooling loops for each of the two separate 6-core Xeons and several Video Cards with their own cooling blocks, the Glacier is the system of choice for those with massively-parallel computing needs.
The stock Xeon X5680 architecture has the same processing power as the very popular Gulftown (i7-980X) models that Intel produces. However, there is no way to create a "Dual Gulftown" system, and this is where the Xeon X5680 shines. With twice the processing power, the 12 cores in the dual Xeon X5680 can crush a Gulftown.
This system comes with 12 GB RAM, a 2 TB internal drive, and a 128 GB SSD drive that is already formatted with Windows 7 as a wicked fast boot drive. It also comes standard with a GeForce GTX 580 video card for high-end video performance. For other configuration options, call 610-818-5063 or send an email to review prices and options.
