What About YOU?

 

i7 3970x
one of those expensive boards that do quad sli cbf remembering name. xD
quad sli titans
32g ram
Top of the line headphones + some studio stereo speakers + DAC
Couple 512g ssds
some 1500w psu
3x 27" chinese 1440p monitors that do 120hz(actually tested ones not luck of the draw xD)
watercooling
prolly a caselabs case
ducky/filco kb
zowie ec1 evo or a buttload microsoft ime 3.0s :>
w8
etc cbf getting actually names but ya get the point

 

Nice, you can't go 4-Way SLI with Titan, it's up to 3.

 

Probably a vanilla hackintosh with Apple Thunderbolt Display (ridiculously overpriced!) or a maxed out 27 inch iMac (ridiculously overpriced, again!). I don't play any games besides..., no I don't play any at all, now that I'd quit RS. I also prefer OS X to Windows for everyday, casual tasks. As for the peripherals, I'd go with the Logitech Solar Keyboard Or-Whatever-It's-Called, the Magic TrackPad, some good speakers (preferably Denon or Harman Kardon) and the latest Wacom Intuos tablet. Feel free to hate .

 

Smart, I love hackintosh's but I still like Windows 7 better than any other OS!

 

FOR A DESKTOP??? Yeah good luck with that case, unless you got a custom built case or a super tower.
This list looks like you just went to newegg, looked in each catagory and put price highest to lowest.. The mother board you picked, has a max of 96 gb of ram. It only allows 2 proccessors, you have 3. I don't mean to be a buzzkill but yeah.

 

rly? oh i havent looked much into titan haha.

 

I picked two Xeon's not 3, and picked 96GB of RAM. Did nothing wrong, I said money is no problem. So,I guess it's fine, for sure it's OVERKILL! but, yeah money is no probs!
EDIT: yeah, the Cosmos is huge ass, I'd wait for the 900D from Corsair, it's a killa

 

caselabs or gtfo. ;D

'Nuff Said.

 

LOL, didn't think of dat, fit in in ya home pl0x.
This is where the GTX Titan got its name

 

Well if money was no object... It WOULD fit in my home. LOL. Just saying.

In reality I built one a while ago for shits and giggles... but I need to actually go back and build it (again).

Essentially this:



Except 3 of the 4TB HDDs

and 4 of the GFX cards (the cards are designed for people that do high-end GFX & 3D rendering... In other words mashes Titan 4x over)...

and possibly more of the SSDs if I figured out how to daisy-raid (like you could with the old PATA drives if anyone remembers).

Total turns out to be ~ $34849.75. That's before liquid cooling and case (or if I'm really going for the high-end OCing a dry-freezer)... And that's also missing monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset, surround sound system, sound card, etc.

 

u sure itd smash titan? lol. doubt theres benchmarks out there but i highly doubt it would.

 

It wouldn't samash Titan gaming wise, Quadro 6000 is respectible for its wokrstation power!

 

You bought 12 hard drives but that motherboard only has 6 sata connections, thats not counting the 2 blu ray drives you added. It does seem like you just went with the most expensive parts possible and didn't think it through. Didn't even get a raid card, and why would you go for the 840's as your SSD Raid solution? NAND based SSD's are inferior....

The Quadro 6000 is just a gtx 470 with different drivers. The Titan is the single most powerful graphics card out there at the moment.

 

OK, then I'd go with 1 4TB drive, 1 Blu-Ray 4 SSD's

 

more of a laptop guy myself, mobility is a must for me..

I would go for the Sager NP9570 fully outfitted. It utilizes a desktop CPU on an x79 MOBO

i7 3970xm hexa-core desktop cpu
SLI Nvidia GTX 680m's
16 GB QUAD-channel DDR3 RAM
3x Intel 520 480gb SSD's setup in RAID-0

This is, by far, the most powerful laptop in existence. Would love to have one...I doubt there is anything that it cant handle! IF for some reason you needed more graphical power than the mobility chips can provide, you can run an e-GPU setup and utilize desktop cards aswell. It would defeat the portability of a laptop, but the option is there!

 

Sounds like a good build, however liquid cool ur PC its the ultimate way bro, it also saves a decent amount of room in ur case I believe, never done it myself but Its always been my dream

 

Actually takes up more room, because you will have to have a pump, reservoir, all of the tubing, then if you go with compression fittings over barb fittings thats more space right there. Then you have your rads, usually a good watercooling setup will include 2 radiators at least a 360 and a 240 at the minimum I would recommend a 480 and 360.

But thats why when you watercool you truly are a modder, because you have to get all of that to fit in your PC by modding while still keeping tabs on aesthetics.

 

Or you just get a off brand watercooling case.
