Wouldn't the same happen to you everytime you saw the most gorgeous girl in the world walk past you - knowing you can't "afford/get" her ?

So ye :/

*another piece dies*

Yeah true...If you look at it like that.

Hahahah! If anyone ever spends that much on a gaming rig, I will personally find you and slap you very very hard. No doubt its an amazing system and I would love to own one, but not for that price. Especially since that will be worth R20k in 1 years time.

I would also rather go with a larger SSD than the 80GB, or 2 SSD and 1 normal drive. 1.5TB of storage is plenty, for sure

Intel X25-M - 80GB Solid State Drive (gaming)
Asus Xonar Essence 7.1 audio
Gigabyte Odin Pro 1200W
LG Black Dual Layer Blu-Ray Writer
Lian-li pc-P80

Total cost for the i7 Joker Edition: R 83 000

My verdict: 10/10

1. First off, isn't it 12gigs of ram total?
2.Is there driver support for tri crossfire?
3.10 sata ports mean 4x Intel X25 drives in raid 0 and 6x 2TB WD drives...
4. You will need more power... Bigger PSU or 2x PSUs
5. My Phenom OCed to 3.6Ghz runs with this cpu.... So get water cooling and OC this baby.
6. At least a 50" Full HD Screen.
7. G5 - I think it is still the best mouse out there.
8. Windows 7
9. 4mb MPLS link at home.
9. Sapphire 4870x2 toxic cards... They are water cooled.

My 2c.

[The Joker]

1. No its only 4 gigs of ram at R9000
2 Yes there is driver support for tri crossfire
3. 4 intel x25 in raid 0 would cost around R24 000
4 Nope the 1200 odin will run that setup( as long as you don't ad more crap)
5.Water cooling is a cool idea but its not needed, I won't over clock that rig!!
6 Screen wasn't added cause it would push the price to R130 000
7. I agree on the G5 being the best mouse.
8.Hell yeah!!
9. Those specific asus cards will monster any other Ati 4870x2.
