Looks awesome, but will there be any other SH games?

By the time you save for it, it'll be outdated.
I'll pass on this one.

Even with a lottery win I'd still not have it... what is the point? 4x EVGA's GTX480 - I don't know how much fps would increase by, but could you honestly tell the difference between 200 fps and 400? Or more?

Like one poster replied to review (it wasn't even a review!) I'd build one for <4k and spend the rest saving the environment. So my daughter could at least have a bit of power to play SH6 (with a permanent hard-wired brain to Ubi's servers

).

End of rant

why pay that much for a second rate rig anyways?
I have been designing my dream computer, 7000$ gets you duel xeons
32gb memory
duel ssd for system disk(raid 0)
4tbs for games and apps(i would like raid 0 too, but i don't think you can have 2 raids on 1 computer)
1 fire gl for work, and 1 for gaming

Cool. Then you could have super high FPS while looking at photo-realistic crew say the same 2-3 lines every time you bump into them. Meanwhile, there will be no ballast and trim control, and the basic paradigm of operating the boat will be a choice between automagical, or the player doing everything himself.

Oh, and what good is 200 fps when you have a FR of zero because your net connection drops.

But you'll have enough for the new equivalent. Technology is all about better and cheaper. (in theory)

Then it looks like the genre could be 'snookered' then

Not if we pool our resources and cue something up.

It shouldn't just make it, it should deliver it via a buxom wench dressed ready for an Oktoberfest, and a bacon sarnie at 7 every morning
