With the launch of the GeForce GTX 590, manufacturers have been integrating the massively powerful dual GPU graphics card into their range of configurable systems. Digital Storm’s Hailstorm computer comes equipped with liquid cooling, an Intel second generation Sandy Bridge i7-2600K CPU, an ASUS P67 Sabertooth motherboard, a 1 terabyte hard drive, and 8GB of RAM, for example:
