SLI Rig of the Month
Full Name: Matt Krei
Country: USA (Haymarket, Virginia)
Handle: FragTek

Each month we see more and more gamers using watercooling to bring their PCs to the next level of performance. Starting with some of the best hardware available didn't hurt Matt's chances of building a smoking fast PC, but when he cooled things down with 2 pumps and a 6 fan radiator, he began to squeeze a lot more horsepower out of his PC. Oh, and it looks amazing too!

Congrats Matt, and enjoy your reign on the "Rig of the Month" page this January!
