This is a brand new machine. It was built, overclocked and then benchmarked for several days. It did 4.8GHz and was completely stable under prime95. It's currently clocked at 4.6GHz because I don't like to see CPU temperatures over 70C. I never tried pushing it more because it would need water cooling for that.

** Specs:
Corsair Carbide 500R case in black
750W PSU 80+ Silver, SLI/CrossfireX certified w/ 7 year warranty
i5-2500K Quad-Core CPU
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600 memory
Radeon HD 6950 2GB video card
1.5TB SATA 6.0Gb/s hard drive, 7200 rpm, 64MB cache
24X Lite-On CD/DVD Burner

** A few notes:
The PSU is strong enough for a second HD 6950 in Crossfire
The HD 6950 card is unlocked and overclocked and has identical performance to a HD 6970
The CPU is a B-batch, these are known to overclock to 5GHz+

** Some test results from various games:
Battlefield 3, 1080p @ ultra settings: 45 fps
Battlefield 3, 1080p @ high settings: 70 fps
Call of Duty: MW3: 150-200 fps
iRacing: 200-400 fps

CPU and GPU temperatures stay at 60-65C while running games. GPU fan never goes over 50%. For those not familiar with the case, it has a 3-channel fan controller for the two 120mm fans in the front and the 200mm fan on the side panel. All fans have white LEDs which can be turned on or off via a button.

More info and a review of the case:

Price: $1,250

The machine will be shipped in its original packaging and will include all accessories, software, etc.
