Crazy Build (fictional)

[ncmike]

Just for fun, I wanted to see how crazy a build I could conjure up - cost be damned. PCPartPicker doesn't list everything available. The boot drive would be a Seagate X8 Accelerator PCIe Virident 2.2TB; the HDDs would be RAID 10; the SSDs would be RAID 0. Of course the four Titans in Quad along with the quad 30" displays. Not sure the Titans and Vrident could co-exist - might have to chop a Titian and one display. Custom cooling of course. I guess power savings don't matter at around a 1436W draw - maybe needs its own power plant

All that in a Storm Stryker, really?
Your not even touching the high end of the mainstream stuff with that :lol:.

The Cross Desk by Red Harbringer, coming out "soon" for $1200. Can even build two rigs inside it.

Gonna need a bit more than $350 to water-cool all that, that's about how much my water-loop costs and all its doing is a CPU and a single 7970 . Suspect you would break $500 in blocks alone on that rig.

Where is the gas and break pedals?

that desk? It should have warp drives!
