baddest build...6k budget

[jeeprnovru]

precisely! my 2 cents id find a gpu that will be usable for the longest time(meaning hopefully it wont be insignificant in 3 yrs) buy as many as you can in as many box's as you need middle road mb drives dont matter any junk laying around. nice efficient reliable powersupplies. throw in a 50$ cpu or even a badass one its your build just have fun and btw id think you'd be our next major player if you pull this off! just do it man!!! a new gpu will do 750k alone per day or so i believe so imagine 4 or 6!!!! plenty of intelligent computer freaks here to guide you

bingo...i want a stripped down racer not a luxury sled...(if you think in terms or racing like i do) I WANNA GO FAST! LOL

i want to build to run at the top...all this extra beef and trinketry can be avoided. i dint need LED lights and chrome usb ports. i need speed in a box! im with ya all the way greg k.

Not sure I could spend 6k on a system how about 2 3k systems or 3 2k systems?

well take a few weeks if nesscessary to figure it best. you'll find plenty of help here to make sure you get the best bang for the dollar. i will definately be following this build thread!

I am interested in this as well and will do my best to respond to any hardware questions that he may have.

Now, on this subject of the ideal $6000 build.

If you are building just one machine let's look at the power consumption of the rig:
160 watts for 2 x AMD Opteron 12 core processors
400+ watts for the dual video cards

How are you planning on cooling the room that this machine resides in?

I say put a window air conditioner in your budget.

[jeeprnovru]

actually that topic came up in conversation today and the case will be sitting under i window unit in the room its gonna be in...i want to get some dryer hose and rig it up to gulp some AC and plumb it into the case...yehaw! its a frigirare BTW

[zombie67]

Not only the cooling, but also the power to run it. Special wiring would probably be needed for these 4xGPU systems. And then if you add 4 CPUs and butt-loads of RAM (need at least 2gb per thread). You could probably get more bang for the buck by doing a couple of dual cpu, dual gpu machines. And that way you can put them on separate circuits, and in different rooms.
