The Aqua: Remembering the AQUA range from Pitstop, one of the most powerful systems offered by any company in the world in 2005. This system was designed with gamers in mind but included the flexibility to satisfy all other needs from audio to photography and with minor mods; movies. Every component used was specifically chosen because it was the best in its class. From the acclaimed Creative X-Fi Fatility for sound to the ASUS M2N32 WS Professional for the best motherboards. With our replacement model "Descent revised" commissioned by AMD, we were the first company in the United Kingdom to supply the Koolance PC4-1036BK 1 Kilowatt cooling system and PC Power & Cooling 1 Kilowatt power supply unit for the original "Descent". The systems were not for the faint hearted. Make no mistake, if you wanted the best in its class then the best just got a whole lot better. Are YOU up to it? Yes? Then read on and discover the sheer instant power offered by the latest AQUA "Big Red" system available only from Pitstop for all AMD enthusiasts
AMD Europe first commissioned models for UBISOFT for the release of GHOST RECON (advance warfighter). Constantly striving to supply the best  and fastest rigs: ever. Pitstop was the first company in the UK to utilise the new Koolance PC4-1036BK 1kw cooling system. Larger in size to enable the new 1 Kilowatt power supply and graphics array. This rig turned heads wherever it went; it totally out-gunned all other production rigs- Aqua "Descent revised" really  did leave them high and dry. Now Pitstop sets a new benchmark in cooling systems with cooling, safety and maxed out power. Announcing the first rig to be released with the Koolance ERM-3K4U 5x pump rackmount cooling system, that can cool over 20 processors at the same time and utilised to cool Big Red. With a flow rate of 8.5L/min which equates to 2.25 GPM this unit can lift upto 3000watts of potential heat dissipation. Coupled with the latest nickel plated cooling blocks from Koolance and a quick release system to allow you the ability to move Big Red easily without draining or having to carry both units together. We did not stop there, we set about looking at Samsung Rose red monitors to offer High Definition display which would marry up with the HD4870 graphics array of the system. Our corporate edition "Big Red 5" has exactly that, 5 rigs all running from a single ERM unit set in a circle allowing games manufacturers the ability for a striking display of their latest game titles and a 6th Big Red to act as a games server. The question posed to us, "Why?" because Pitstop can & will continue to build wacky rigs for the shear enjoyment and ability of doing so.
