Hi so i am thinking the base will be EVGA Classified SR-2 Intel 5520 motherboard and then two Intel Xeon X5680 3.33GHz (Westmere) CPU's
I was just thinking... it's kinda aimed at servers but would it serve as an ultimate gaming pc as well ? And if there is something more powerful out there please share.
 
No ! i said if somebody would be that kind and share their vision of an ultimate pc or maybe they know some more ultimate part than those i listed.
 
ultimate for what? dataabse access, games, cad, is the app you want to run on the ultimate multi threaded...?

I know a guy that spent 6k on a PC for cad, it had dual quad zeon and 64GB of ram... however the cad program was single threaded and only used at peak 1gb of ram...

he would have done well to save on the PC and spend more on a bigger / better / dual screen.. or maybe a faster disk subsystem...

for business always spec an off the shelf solution... total cost of ownership...
 
Just dont fall into the most expensive are the best parts. the ultimate computer would be the sum of its parts working extremely well together.

Click to expand...

also forgot ultimate for up time or storage or maybe folding...
 
please dont tell me your just like that guy jakensake who likes to spend so much money for the *bling* of the parts
 
Ricockulous thread :rolleyes: :)

But since I'm bored I just wondered if it was even possible to spend that much. Silly question I guess - of course it is!

Bear in mind i couldn't be bothered to waste time properly speccing a water cooling system, so consider the rest spent on that. Also I've no idea if that display will even work with the nvidia GPUs. Probably not - who cares?

$15000 Computer: SiCortex intros SC072 Catapult for the rich

Have you got a spare $15,000 lying around, if so (lucky) and do you want a new desktop computer then this PC might be for you. The SC072 Catapult from SiCortex is made for people who got tons of cash and need something amazingly powerful.

The horsepower in the SC072 Catapult is out-of-this-world; the low-power deskside cabinet is whisper-quiet and sports a 72-processor cluster.

SiCortex are no stranger to producing innovative inventions as they also gave us the bicycle-powered supercomputer, the SO072 Catapult features room for six internal hard drives, a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports, 3 PCIExpress slots, 48GB of RAM and can you believe that this performance computer uses less than 200-watts of power.

The specs above just blow me away (very impressive), but I am left thinking “Who would need this amount of power?”

Each 12 SC072 node features a multi-core chip with six CPU cores, and in my opinion the $15,000 gets you a lot of hardware.



OK it,s $ not £ however you know the exchange rate
