I also thought that it was this kid droppin this money because he had nothing else to do with the money...if its some established millionaire...im not as shocked....but i still think its pointless and unnecessary.CrazeD wrote:
Why do you have such a problem with people spending a lot of money on things they enjoy?
Look at all the people who drop thousands upon thousands of dollars on cars, boats, snowmobiles, ATV's, dirtbikes, guns, home theater stuff, and tons of seemingly "useless" other things.
Sure it will be "outdated" in 6 months to a year, but it isn't the best of the best to start with.
EDIT: lol if I owned those cars I'd want to drive them, not sit shotgun while my driver had all the fun.lol, must be nice. How did you find this guy and have him choose you to build this space station for him? how much are you making out of the deal?JaMrulezass wrote:

yea, i think thats what i am gathering. had to read through the thread a couple times because it blows my mind why someone would spend that much on a computer. Atleast I HOPE its not him...but then again i dont understand why ANYONE would spend $6,500 on a computer.
This is for someone who lives in some 6000 square feet mansion with a Ferrari, Porsche, Land Rover and 3 personal drivers and most impressively, their own museum corridor.

he prob buys the parts from hong kong thats y hes using their prices
yea but why if there was a poster earlier who showed the same parts and all but for about $800 less from newegg?
ohh, nice. Do want. No water cooling?
which is something like 13% difference. Not that much considering he didn't get the exact same partssiciliano732 wrote:

Everyones telling me, JAMES OMG! That guy is a spoilt rich fag who dosent even game. Why dont you build it at your place, swap all the parts from your computer to his computer and vice versa. And on top of that get the cash and run?
Answer, coz I'm an honest person.
Even better, James, tell him to give you the money to buy the stuff, get all the shit parts and take the rest of the money yourself.

B. Hardcore Gaming
C. Hardcore mega-tasking requiring super computers.

HAHA! This isnt the most extreme of all though but I'm pretty damn sure that it is somewhere on the top 5 list on this forums.Gawwad wrote:

I could make a couple changes if it were to be the best of the best
3-WAY SLI 8800 ULTRA
790I SLI with DDR3
8?16?GB of DDR3-1800
6 x 30" monitors
And an excess amount of SSD drives.
And a QX9770 (unreleased)
Hmmph, I dont think anyone is THAT sad though
you forgot the comfy desk chair with 360 degree spinning so you can spin around and see the 6 30" monitors.JaMrulezass wrote:

or you can get 3-4 of those Alienware curved monitors and put them in a complete circle...and then build an elevator to bring you up and down from your "gaming bubble"
^^or is that over-kill?
i wonder how much it would cost if you got the best of everything and completely maxed out....what are we lookin at?

I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst 'all hats off, no budget' builds I've ever seen...
Poor RAM quantity/quality. Why not 8Gb DDR2? 4Gb DDR3?
Why the G92 GTS's? I know they perform marginally slower than the GTX, but still... if money is no object, you can get tri-SLI GTX's or just SLI'd Ultras. Twin them with a 26"+ monitor and I'm sure you'll milk the framerates and get his moneys' worth out of the card.
No sound-card at all? Bit of a strange thing to miss out considering they're no more than $250 for the top-end Gaming ones.
He's buying into such a gimmick with the Blu-Ray drive... I don't care about 'future investment'. There is no such thing as future investment when it comes to Blu-Ray. The main supporter and promoter of Blu-Ray technology was the Playstation 3... and that has fallen dead on its ass.

If I ever become very rich, I will do that with the Alienware monitors, and buy you one for suggesting it to me. Imagine how fucking cool something like FSX would be! Obviously it wouldn't work very well for FPS games.siciliano732 wrote:
