''Pipe Dreams'' Computer Desk System, $30,000

If you gave it to me I'd accept it and dissasemble it into a normal computer.

As is.. it's ugly and overpriced.

Does it come with a car?

TO me that not worth 30k

maybe 10k and the extra 20k is for the labor that went into putting this together?

Maybe it should read I smoke crack, and built this mess!! Want to buy it?!?!?!

Wow judging by the cost at first i thought "Is this a Mac?"

 

[kingssman]

looks impressive but how well will it run crysis?

Yes, I expect thats exactly what it is ... all custom builds have a high price tag because of the amount of work it takes to build something outside of normal manufacturing lines... i expect the desk materials cost a fair ol' bit too.

I do love how the setup looks.
However, for $30,000, I'd expect a dual socket motherboard with two i7-975 at 4.5GHz (with HT) each, with 72GB of DDR3 2000MHz (some lga1366 dual sockets have 18 DIMMS, 9 per CPU, and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs are available, at $100+ per DIMM), Quadfire 5890 4GB, a bunch of Intel X25-E's in RAID0, and a bunch of 2TB 7200RPM drives in RAID5. And a completely mad watercooling setup (independ radiator for every CPU/GPU, and another for the memory/drives/NB, another for the second backup computer, and another for each monitor [because 9x 30" monitors would generate a lot of heat, possibly making the user uncomfrtable]) with the second computer just having several 2TB 7200RPM drives in RAID5 just for nightly instant backups. Nine 30" 2560x1600 bezel-free IPS panel monitors all linked together with software to detect wether it's 2D or 3D mode, and to choose whether it's to display as a multimonitor setup or one huge monitor. It'd also have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (because I've had enough of seeing these 'ultimate gaming rigs' with like 6-12GB of RAM with only a 32-bit OS sold by retailers). A glass touch panel keyboard,
It'd also have a expresso maker and integrated waffle iron. It'd also have a blender with a firdge.

It could blend, it could play Crysis, and it could even take more power than two city blocks!

Now that's a pipe dream... one that would actually cost more than $30,000 actually... and we don't have 4GB graphic cards yet (though we may on the Nvidia 3xx series)
Think you can do better?

imo the biggest problem isn't price! It's appearance! I'd very much expect a system of this type to be delivered without visible cables except the single one from the table to the wall plug and if need be one for ethernet
