Monster of a Computer
 

So I was browsing around Tigerdirect when I saw this giveaway:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/s...ptakes_Killers

Its a Monster of a computer with:

• CPU: Two (2) Intel Xeon 5680 Six-Core Processors
• Motherboard: EVGA Classified SR2 Motherboard
• Memory: 24GB Corsair Tri-Channel DDR3 Memory
• Video Cards: Four (4) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 Video Cards
• Hard Drive: Two (2) 2TB Hard Drives
• Solid State Drive: 160GB Intel SSD Drive Solid State Drive
• Optical Drive: BluRay/DVD Burner
• Power Supply: EVGA Classified SR-2 Power Supply
• Case: Custom One-of-a-Kind “Killers” Case
• Monitors: (3) 3D Ready Acer Monitors
• 3D Glasses: NVIDIA 3D Glasses

The only thing I don't like about it is the case since it has the the words Killers in pink along the side.

nothing a can of spray paint wont fix.

Good luck !

Wow that is a killer rig. Me jelous... Me want... Damn its in the US... :damn:

I can just imagine the electrical bill.... That would suck up soo much juice.. :D

4 of those 480's, holy crap

damn, I think the PSU will knock out my house's fusebox :dead:

Meh.. its 1,500 watts your hair dryer draws more current.

I prefer AMD to Intel. I prefer ATI to Nvidia graphics cards. I wouldn't know what to do with 2 Terrabytes of storage. I'm not impressed by all the bells and whistles. Bigger isn't always better.

So...

I'm busy opening up as many email accounts as I can Gotta have that thing!:D

Ain't it the truth? :haha:

Wouldn't know what to do with all that either, maybe split it into 2 separate systems, but it's a great toy.

I think the best thing to do with this computer is to solve cancer by folding at home.

Or play Crysis and any other high performance demanding game at once. Hell, it has three monitors, you can play 3 seperate games. :haha:

What a beast! :rock:

Good chances that whoever wins this isn't going to use it for anything demanding. I highly someone who only uses computers for facebook/email winning it. :haha:

"Wow, FarmVille never ran this smooth before!" :haha:

Truth to tell, if I did win it I'd sell it for as much as I could get and then buy as much computer as I actually needed.

If that kind of processing power met with less than 50 Watt of power requirement then it's my dream thing. Right now it's a monster in both processing power and electrical bill. A sort of brutal solution to achieving raw power.

I mean most of time I'm using my PC not for gaming anyway at least not before ArmA 2 came along. It's just stupid to power all those devices when what you do is mostly typing or browsing :haha:.

11 grand PC....nuts.

I dream of rig with growing hard disk space(bio storage) and growing RAM too, with a pre-installed AI whom I can talk to, very fast processing speed(both graphics and programs) with a peak load temperature of the room's. At idle the rig would actually cool down to a temp lower than the ambient room temperature. All that with a power requirement of less than 50 Watt and comes with self charging bio battery that ideally could keep the rig going indefinitely without being plugged into any power source. . . . Ummmmm . . . .and it's no longer a two state machine in terms of processing mechanism but encompassing all the characters that mankind have ever known of.

We'll probably have giant space-cruisers in orbit before that happens though. :hmmm:
Exactly. Think most people would do the same. :yep:

Maybe just sell 2 of the cards, and use the money to swap out the motherboard to a decent SLI one, with i7 CPU. Sell of half the memory as well, got a killer rig and some spare cash.

This computer makes mine feel inadiquate!:wah:
