btarunr · Nov 12, 2008

BFG, a leading manufacturer of PC graphics cards and power supplies, introduced today in collaboration with SmoothCreations a nationally known system builder that builds custom painted high performance gaming computers; are proud to announce the Smooth HD SCinema.

"When the Music & Movie industry come asking for the Ultimate Media Center, they don't go to your local pc store or your volume OEM", says Mario Gastelum, they come to a reputable boutique system builder that real design team that can craft & customize a pc. And that's what happened with the Linkin Park media center.

The Smooth HD SCinema home theater pc is powered by an Intel 9770 Quad Core and a two BFG Geforce 280 GTX's.. As the CEO of SmmothCreations, Jim Saling, put's it, "the Smooth HD SCinema was designed to be a powerful multimedia & gaming system that want a robust and with scaleable upgrade features". We wanted to ensure to our customers that everything but the kitchen sink was included in this media center.

The Smooth Creations - Smooth HD S Cinema is powered with the Ultimate features and complimented with the following hardware:

Intel Quadcore 9770
Intel Bonetrail Motherboard
2 BFG GeForce 280 GTX's
8 GB of G.Skill DDR3 Memory
2 Lite On Blu Ray Drives
10 Terabytes of Western Digital SATA Hard Drives
Silverstone 1000 Watt Modular Power Supply
Silverstone LC 18 HTPC Enclosure
ATI 650 PCI-E TV Tuner
50 Inch Samsung Plasma HDTV Monitor
Klipsch THX Ultra 2 Speakers
Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse

Our engineers worked with industry experts not only to bring a HTPC media center , but to deliver a finished best-of-breed solution that was a real finished product. And Linkin Park's media center is precisely what this Home Theater system is. Finished. "For those that want the ultimate customizable Home Theater system, Smoothcreations is the way to go", Denny Liu, G.Skill Product Manager.

The Smooth HD SCinema is available for immediate delivery, and custom configurations and upgrades are available. Each Home Theater pc is custom painted and serialized. MSRP for this Media Center is $19,975.00.

20k for a computer with a Linkin Park logo? Why not a good artist or nothing at all? HTPC's don't need to be all that powerful anyway.. My Phenom 9500 and HD 4550 are amazing for blu ray play back..

A media center my ass, thats a full gaming rig that can watch movies too..

there two different things if you ask me a gaming pc and a HTPC (media center)

a normal person could build a HTPC for $600 or so and thats with hdmi and a decent sond card

You get to choose. You better when you paying ~20K.

btarunr · Nov 12, 2008

Well, what can I say? 1337 for the Elite?

Nice speakers though.

Exavier · Nov 12, 2008

nice speakers, but I'd rather not waste money on 10TB and a 'custom' design (to me, custom implies that only I would have it and know how to make it - not have some guy do me something that could technically be reproduced)

cheesemonkey · Nov 12, 2008

its expensive but the sound system and the 50inch samsung hdtv looks nice!!

D4S4 · Nov 12, 2008

me wants that sound system... *drools on the keyboard*

i just don't know where would i put if if i had it...

WarEagleAU · Nov 12, 2008

Considering what all is in it, Id expect about 11 to 12 grand of that is for the tv and speakers. The rest of the 8 or 9 grand is pc. Well Ill take that back, 10 TBs of HDD from WD with some probably being Velociraptors its pretty expensive.

Well it does advertise itself as a gaming and multimedia system thingy. Although I hate when products come with a sponsor on it.

iStink · Nov 12, 2008

i just bought 2 (needed a second set for the kid's room)

Whilhelm · Nov 12, 2008

Damn those speakers alone cost 16k. with the 50" samsung and computer the price is actually justified.

I was just about to say something about that. People are complaining about the price, but they don't realize how much those speakers actually cost.

soldier242 · Nov 12, 2008

boy that system is a steal, since those speakers alone cost 11k € ... so i'm sold

kyle2020 · Nov 12, 2008

Intel "Bonetrail"? :wtf:

isnt it skulltrail? Or am I behind on technology haha.

erocker · Nov 12, 2008

If I had those speakers, they would be broken from the drool. I love that design.

Bonetrail is X38/X48.

That's another thing that just dawned on me, this is running SLI on an Intel board.

MKmods · Nov 12, 2008

Smooth Creations has some pretty sweet paintjobs,, I wonder why they chose that for a display?

MKmods · Nov 12, 2008

Can someone please buy this and send me the drivers to try? I want SLI too....

I managed to find them here. Wonder if they will work ? http://www.slizone.com/page/slizone_downloads.html

Sorry - they are Skulltrail drivers, not bonetrail. Darn
