A badass computer

[munozfernando92]

Hello,
with the technology out right now, and super capable components, What components would make up the most capable computer possible? That is of course if money is not an object....

CPUs+cooling: dual xeon 5690s on phase change
Mobo: evga sr-2
RAM: 48gb corsair dominator gt
GPUs+cooling: 4 gtx 580s on water
1 gtx 460 (physX) air-cooled
HDDs: 5 spinpoint f3 1tb in RAID 1+0 aka 10
SSDs: 4 c300 256gb in RAID 0 or 10 or 5
ODD: blu-ray
PSU: 1200ax psu
Case will probably be a mountain mod it has to be huge

Monitors: 3 2560x1440 2D or 3 1920x1080 3D

This will be more money than your car

 

[joelmartinez]

you might have to use dual psus, to overclock get 2 1200axs just in case

Phase change cooling is too risky with condensation, I'd go with a solid gold heatsink for maximum cooling.

3 X 2560 X 1600 would be a good resolution.

 

[joelmartinez]

Oh please, air for a no-limits computer, how the heck are you gonna get 5.2ghz stable without phase change, at least get a water set-up, it is true that phase-change is high maintenance and is only recommended for enthusiasts with time, money, and expertise.

 

[jprahman]

Well I'm sure that a custom solid gold heatsink with two stacked fans on each side would let you get some pretty impressive clocks.

 

[joelmartinez]

If you don't wanna deal with the whole hassle of phase change, water-cooling should be able to get you to 4.5ghz or so.

 

[joelmartinez]

Well I'm sure that a custom solid gold heatsink with two stacked fans on each side would let you get up to 5.2GHz.

BS, I wanna see some benchies

*this comment should be considered constructive criticism*

 

[jprahman]

Letme go out and buy a kilo of gold and make one and I'll get back with you.

 

[joelmartinez]

Sounds good

okay one more thing... i don't know what half these things mean.. could u like give each things purpose?

 

[joelmartinez]

Edited first post

 

[munozfernando92]

So i did a bit of research,, and im sure im off, but i got around 15,000$...
just for components...
idk about the case or anything else... does the price range sound about right?

 

[munozfernando92]

i uhhh forgot to throw in the two kilos of gold, so uh, throw that in or whatever cooling system would work better...

 

[munozfernando92]

oh and another PSU....lol

 

[jprahman]

So are you seriously thinking about buying this, or are you just putting a list together for kicks? BTW, Intel released the the Xeon X5690 CPU, which is 133MHz faster than the X5680, may want to add that to the list. You won't be able to fit all of those video card in that motherboard because there just aren't enough slots, so the GTX 460 will have to be dropped.

Here are two cases that would be good options: LIAN LI PC-P80 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case, LIAN LI PC-V2120X Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case. The first case has 10 expansion slots and the second has 11.

$15,000 sounds about right. The final price will probably approach $20,000 once you add in the additional PSU, monitors, OS, accessories, material and equipment for case mods, cooling system, etc.

 

[joelmartinez]

No, don't use Lian-Li for this case, use mountain mods. yes replace CPUs with 5690s

I have seen a system using 5 GPUs on an SR-2

 

[brpeden82]

i hope you got that system on a high amp breaker you will throw a 15 or 20 amp breaker

 

[joelmartinez]

I don't think this is for real

 

[jprahman]

No, don't use Lian-Li for this case, use mountain mods. yes replace CPUs with 5690s

I have seen a system using 5 GPUs on an SR-2

Well the SR-2 only has 6 PCIe slots, so unless at least a few of the cards were single slot I don't see how it would be possible to fit 5.

 

[jprahman]

I don't think this is for real

I figure it probably isn't, but still it'd be pretty sweet to have a build like this.

 

[joelmartinez]

I think it has 7, and it is assume that the cards will be on water (single slot blocks)

 

[munozfernando92]

of course it isnt real, *** if it was, do u guys really think id ask?
the only way id make my own build if i knew what i was doing, and if i knew what i was doing then why would i ask... no, i just asked to see how much it would run, and what it would be composed of...
thanks for the input...
though, maybe one day, in a couple years... of course its gonna be all different by then...lol
if it was between this or another car...
id go for this...
i love computers, but i dont know alot about them...
still part of me thinks this is just overkill..
but, think of the possibilities.. theyre limitless...
u could literally do anything and everything...
like i said...
ima do it...
just dont know when.. could be 3, 4, 5, 6,7 years from now...

 

[jprahman]

hey if you ever do build something like this I want to see it. lol
