Wtf is this a joke? $117,928 for a computer... Be real, even if this for work it's still not worth it.

Edit: Why is this called a "budget build"? Must definitely be a joke. Not funny.

 

[level101]

this case would be better

[daft]

thanks level, and to maroc.... its a very very large budget and I'm not paying

 

[sarahwingler]

Redundancy check anyone? Seriously $117,928? I want to know why you are spending $200 on just keyboards and $4600 each for monitors. Can't you just settle for regular monitors?

I've never built a server, but it seems like you can trim a couple thousand or more off the price by going through and getting rid of all the stuff you don't need.

Who is paying BTW?

 

[EXT64]

Nice. Those server parts are amazingly expensive.

 

[amd_fanboi]

why on earth do you need to spend so much?

you realise, of course, that in 9 or so months, all that cash would have been wasted, right?

Wrong. As soon as he clicks the "buy" button all that money is wasted. Paying that much for a computer is pointless whichever way you look at it. Why not go buy yourself a nice car and go pick up some pussy?

i agree...pussy all around.. i'd get the car as well.

 

[Hard Line]

3rd on pussy man.. there is alot of cost you can cut in there without losing perfomance.... think and research before you push that button

 

[daft]

well, like i said, im not paying. im not even sure this will be the final piece. all up to the buyer

 

[Silverion77]

WTH IS THIS FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16 GIGS OF RAM....i mean seriously!!!!!!
And a 2000 Watt PSU that wont even fit in the case.
I mean common...get some pussy and a Nissan GT-R on top of that

 

[daft]

its a shame you didn't see that its actually 128 GIGS of RAM

 

[amd_fanboi]

so please enlighten us precisely why you'd need 128 gigs of ram... you realise that's the upper limit of Vista x64, right?

 

[daft]

well, its going to act as a server for a gaming LAN consisting of wii's, 360's, ps3's, and computers

 

[daft]

forgot the cad and movie encoding that will be going on

 

[Hard Line]

2kw PSU is not required for that setup tbh... waaaay overkill and remember that you are using more power when using less than the peak efficiency rating ( about 75-85% ) a 600 with 4 12v rails and good amps on them...

 

[Hard Line]

I found a 40" monitor much cheaper than your 30" so you will get a bigger screen while paying 1/3 ( roughly) the cost..
