Reviews - Pro-Clockers! PC Reviews One MegaHertz At A Time

Quo Computer always felt like a sightly classier version of Psystar, but also one that stayed out of the spotlight most of the time. Psystar got all the media attention, and had to pay for it; Apple sued, and won - won big time. Psystar is done for, but its death has not deterred Quo Computer's owner Rashantha De Silva from continuing his business.

And apparently, he's doing quite well. Just today, Quo Computer has launched a new machine, available starting September 15. The top-of-the-line maxQ gets knocked up a notch, sporting an Intel Core i7 six-core 3.6Ghz CPU, 12GB of RAM, a 240GB SSD, a 1TB HD, and an NVIDIA 285 GTX, and gets renamed to maxQ2. The beast of a machine will be cooled by liquid cooling solutions from Asetek, who issued a press release about this fact.

"Asetek recently demonstrated how liquid cooling can both quiet and increase the performance of an Apple Mac Pro," said Steve Branton, Director of Marketing at Asetek, "QUO's liquid cooled maxQ2 computers enable Mac OS X enthusiasts to get the benefits of liquid cooling in an extremely powerful computer, without the effort of retrofitting liquid cooling into an existing Mac Pro."
