Although I enjoy your careless spending of money, what was its true purpose? Please don't say gaming. Please don't.
What else would he do? This is a gaming forum and gaming requires the most powerful hardware of really anything.

Nice rig. Unfortunately, you'll be able to build a computer that outperforms it in 12-18 months for about 3 grand

He's got a Tesla compute card worth 3k in there. Not sure what that puppy has to do with gaming.

The owner of the bar we go to comes to my gym so we get a private room and one of our bros is a beer rep so we drink for free.

Also a Carni from the fair came in the night you would have been here and OD'ed on Heroin in the bathroom and we got to watch him get stabbed in the heart with a giant needle.

You missed out bro.

Also anything on the Island owns Alberta, poor or not

It screams "not gaming" to me and perhaps something for research. If it is for gaming, I just could never justify the cost with the quality of games that are out now.

Honest question though, what is the Tesla card for?
Lots of data and numbers. It's not being used for rendering or anything else. Just massive amounts of research and numbers.
Basically taking all data from a Legacy system and funneling it into a brand new system.

No particular reason for getting it other than wanting a super high end machine.. and because I could.
It's heavy as fuck though, it took 2 of us to get it out of the crate.
It has a "patent pending" ARES system under the rig to pump out the heat.

It's liquid cooled WITH 22 fans.

Here's an idea of how large it is.

That will get all the girls panties wet.

I put my money and bought a second home and close this week. The plus side is that the house is already networked with CAT5 outlets in every room of the house. I purchased this today for use at my entertainment center for consoles, A/V receiver and TV.

I honestly dont get it. That system is basically idling running 1080p monitors. If you spent all of that money on the rig, you might has well fucking upgrade to triple 30" monitors. It's like buying a car with a 1000hp engine and running all four wheels on donut spare tires.

Nevermind the fact that my simple 2x SLI 670 cards and 3770k OC'd to 4.5GHz can handle ANYTHING I have thrown at it. All for less than 10% of your cost!! What games are you playing?

Always fun to watch people throw away money, however, I will say it does look pretty!

I normally would agree but 3x sli titans isn't going to be touched by anything in in a lesser price range for aleast a year. He might as well hook this up like a server run everything in his house. Just connect half a dozen monitors in every room to just this machine.

Correction he bought a 17k computer for gaming.I should have said " just connect12 to 18monitors from different rooms in his house."
