Clearly overclocked, but still..damn, its nice.. has basically an mini airconditioner in it.
Check out the 92in flat panel setup they got.
Check out the graphs. It blows the other things out of the water.

Thats overclocked! They've increased the FSB by 150.
Intel have just released 3.2GHZ i believe.

I would love to be able to use that a LAN Party...everyone else would be drooling!!
Would think it would have found a faster DVDRW if they could have...
I would love to see the specs on the vapor cooling system.

When I win the lottery or strike it big at the casino, then maybe I'll consider this.

The monitor isn't include in that price. You have to added it for about $5,000 more.

I'm glad it's not included. That monitor would about drive me crazy if I had to use it--I hate things like that. I just like regular monitors that don't surround me. Imax movies drive me crazy, so a monitor like that certainly would.

Right now i run dual 19" monitors. I would NEVER go back to a single monitor. Not sure if i have the need / want for a third monitor.

wow!
128-bit 533MHz Dual-Channel ULL DDR
Using PC4200 Memory supporting 128-bit Dual-Channel 533MHz operation at 8.4GB/s maximum throughput up to 4GB (or a record-breaking colossal 16GB with optional RamDrive modules) your data, projects, files, renders, filters, games, sounds and videos, will move at a lightening speeds, freeing you from the limitations of the machine, to the freedom of true creative workflow for all your computing intensive requirements.
up to 4GB? All my data could be stored in the ram :D
double wow!
Up to -35'C. That's how cool the CPU gets. That's how hot this system is. The most spectacular cooling system ever built using vapor compression cycle, is capable of removing CPU's heat over 50 times more efficiently than any air cooling solution.
$7799.99 ?? Gotta work 7 years for that :eek:

Yeah, the price is a killer... That is why I am looking at a Dual Opteron 240 system with 1.8 Ghz CPUs. Front side bus operates at CPU speed. Drop in a couple of gigabytes of Fast Ram (the motherboard I want supports 12 Gigabytes on the board) and some Serial ATA drives and I can get the entire system for about $1800.00 before sales tax.

You know the bad thing about it all... I work for a State Goverment agency, and when I showed the $17,500 92" monitor to our Information Technology Director, he is actually considering buying it. We can actually probably get them to send us a demo of the computer and monitor to test out... so, I let you guys know how it is if we get it! :D

However if I can squeeze some more money into the budget, I would like to get this motherboard:

I don't think that's overclocked. Thats HyperThreading Technology. Thats technology is the cards that have like 1000 chips on it to increase speed. The PlayStation3 will have that kind of technology. Its also able to prosses more things, like having 2 prossesors in 1.

umm...did you look at the thing?
950Mhz FSB is 150MHZ overclocked. And HyperThreading does not mean it has several chips in it. And that computer only has one CPU anyway.

It works like if it had 2 prossesors,
