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*
 
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 :D

Total cost for the i7 Joker Edition: R 83 000:D

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. :D
 
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.
 
But the I7 uses tripple channel mem... How you gonna get 4gigs?

I thought we are putting a ultimate rig together, so price wasn't an option?!?! :D
 
It is the ultimate gaming rig but we should at least be a little bit realistic.
It supports the corsair memory aswell mate, I could have gone nuts and dumped in 12 gigs of the ram but then that's another R27 000 just for memory!!

Price isn't an option but some people should look at it and say...I can sell my liver to build that rig, if it cost more than the R83 000 you would have had to sell your kidney's aswell...LOL!!

Do you have a buyer? :D
 
LOL
For my kidney's...no..They are well used so I won't get enough for them!!
I changed the ram now.
Go have a look and tell me what you think?
 
Yip, much better. But then agian, if price is kinda a limit, I would have gone with AMD and the dragon platform...

Edit: Which I now have. :p
 
LOL
The price hasn't got a limit but it has to be sort of realistic(you should be able to purchase it at some stage of your life).

Stop bragging..lol!!
 
Not as extreme as Joker's rig but these are real:

Epic bump is epic.

Anyone, one factual problem with the original post -> You can only crossfire two 4870X2s. You could never put 3 together. For one, there aren't enough crossfire connectors on the card, and for another, 6 GPUs can't work properly together at the moment.
