[Aeyen]

It's pretty cool, must be a great computer you got there, also, if you don't mind my asking, is it a gaming computer?

P.S If you don't have a PC Table yet, get a sleek gray one that looks techy ;D

[Polarbear]

if you don't mind my asking, is it a gaming computer?


no, i don't play games.

[clocker]

That is one hell of a CAD/CAM cruncher you got there.

[peat moss]

First thing I'd be doing is trying out the games , I'm not really a gamer either by the way .

[ajsi]

is it some kind of joke or u really bought this computer? :D will u really use this achievemnt?

[sefo]

i dont know so much about that but i think its pretty good

[peat moss]

I did n't even want to ask the cost as thats was how I was brought up ! :lol:

Quadro cards aren't really very good for gaming...they are specifically designed for CAD work.

[AmpeD]

what do you think?
you've got a big loan to pay off?

[LaPistola]

That must have cost a fortune :-O

[AmpeD]

[Detale]

So c'mon man how much??

[DKre8ive1]

I am going to take a guess and say no less then $5000 US dollars. But man that must be a nice site to see.

I just googled that Quad Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express Card and it cost almost 1000 dollars by its self. :o

The processors are around 1,500 bucks each too.Thats why I would think its a mac, besides knowing that PB loves his apple I am pretty sure the Mac pro workstation has a dual Quad core Xenon's in it also I believe Alienware makes one too.

this makes me think ur lying tho

[clocker]

Pics would be nice.

[Xon91]

Post 3d mark results ;) I'd love to see em.

Some killer machine you bought there :D

And, about the money... Either your aunt died, and you got all her money.. or you robbed a bank!

[Detale]

I don't think PB would lie, maybe he has good credit or he could be rich!

Pics would be awesome

[stok]

For me it would be waste money. But if you need it to your job, that is great.
@edit
yee pics would be nice :)

[accat13]

Pics would be nice.
Clocker probably carries his pics in one of those roll down wallets :D Just like family:D

[clocker]

No need, that's what Photobucket is for.

I've got 36 pages- @700 pics- on there.

Ain't the internet grand?

[Detale]

Wow I thought it would be more than that, seeing as the number of computers you've prob built will exceed most peoples IQ

[clocker]

I only photograph my PCs.

Most customer builds weren't interesting enough to bother with.

[octshik]

good config of your pc man, can you tell me how much it cost you?

[SkyW]

shiiite dude that is one insaaaanne computer you got there!! :D

[nyente]

That's a monster.

If true, I don't think i've ever seen a PC like that, posted on a forum or such.

Would be nice to see pictures though. :)

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your E-Penis growing a few inches:dabs:

No pics, no growth.

[Acid_death69]

God that would be really something i so wanna see this beast of a computer!

[orcutt989]

How much did that cost? And are you a millionaire? 8GB DIMMS cost like $1,000! No way the total cost was under $5,000! That must've cost between $20,000 - $30,000 !!!!

[clocker]

I harbor the suspicion that this is a "Dream Machine" in more ways than one and Polarbear's definition of "bought" doesn't actually involve money.

[Smith]

I don't see what the big deal is anyways. My computer runs on diesel and has like 25 horsepower.
