BOXX 'World's Fastest Single-CPU Workstation'
In conjunction with SIGRAPH 2010, workstation vendor BOXX technologies has announce d the availability of their new 3dBOXX 4880 Xtreme, what it is billing as the “Worlds Fastest Single-processor Workstation” -- configured with “Enhanced Performance.”

The machine is a configurable in either a Six-core or Quad-core Intel Core i7-based system using liquid cooling and overclocked at speeds up to 4.15GHz. It has seven PCI-E x16 slots on its Intel x58-based motherboard and can take up to four dual-slot or seven single-slot graphics cards. Judging by the sheer number of GPU-based computing options seen at SIGGRAPH this year it is definitely understandable why you might need an SLI setup in a workstation.
So essentially what BOXX is bringing out is an overclocked system that uses workstation graphics instead of consumer cards. A system that, according to its specifications, has a 1200 watt power supply.
It's a workstation. Not your average home PC.
Stop acting like Mike Holmes from holmes on homes is gonna come by your pc and give you a thumbs up for having a fashionista-like case.
Well it definitely helps with Video rendering and simulations, or for some applications raytracing.
I don't think that's the hdd's. It appears to be a radiator up against what appears to be fans. Maybe the HDD's are in a seperate box?
Just because it is one CPU package != one CPU.
Lol I'm 24 and I feel old.
There's hardly any ventilation in that case at all. Coulnd't they at least use like a CM690 or something?
4.17Ghz is not an extreme overclock and can be achieved with air often not even requiring a voltage jump. The 1200watts I would gather are more for 4 video card.
Unless all the video cards were water cooled too then I guess it really doesn't matter, but it doesn't look like they are.
I think they could've picked a WAAAYY better case than that....
