Ultimate Gaming Rig

[The Joker]

The thought of dual 1Gw PSU's is scary though. The electric bill will not be pretty .

Yeah I was quite shocked when i heard about the 1.2kw needed just for the gpu's in tri sli. Thinking about it though, If someone can afford to buy a pc like that I don't think they'll be to worried about the power usage at the end of the month

This PC is so freakin crazy my eyes are watering.

If I could I would build it I swear

I'm in love with that cpu and the mobo, 2 beautiful pieces of crafting

It's actually not so bad, ive heard what some people spend on a laptop just ad R33 000 and your waxed with that rig

True true. I bought a R24,000 laptop in 2003. Now its a piece of garbage. Last time I buy a pricy laptop. Desktop's ftw!

@Joker, would you seriously buy this if you had the cash? It's an impressive beast, for sure, but you know in about 5 years its going to be useless for gaming...

Its not so much the cash, I think I could save up enough to get it, problem comes when you sit and think about it with a clear mind..R77 000 for a pc and nothing you can throw at it would ever seriously utilize the whole rig.

Its truly a dream machine but I think it'll always stay a "dream" Machine.

Then of course there is always new hardware coming out so you'll be forever forced to upgrade ect.
If I had the cash laying around yes I would do it but to save up for it...Neah I wouldn't

Anyone who spends 77k on a PC is straight forward, bonking, barking batshit crazy.

Still want one though

Fantastic mobo that but not available in Sa not yet an anyway
4x 480gtx no way of running them all off a single psu and you would need to have them running on a single psu and the rest of the rig off another
24 gig's of ram could be done, will probably add another 12 to that setup
Not commenting on the xeon's, have never and will never like them.

Actually it is possible - check out Guru3D's GTX 480 4-way SLI review (about halfway down the page)

Joker's crazy rig

Crazy rig is crazy!! That should last you at least 5-10 years, but it's sooooo overkill.
