The Gift of a lifetime. =P~
Future proof. (For the next 6 months) 8-x

A bit pricey but hey, you only live once. I'm sure JPM could spec. something out and save ya about 5k but this is pretty.

Have to re-wire the house to get enough power to that thing. Not to mention where the electric bill would go. The local power company would think I was running a pot growing operation here.

All so, so true.... 6 months. That is hysterical :))

Yeah, how about it. Only when I was married could I afford something like that. But when I was married, there was no way in this life or the next she would EVER have stood for it! :P

All I can say is... DROOOL....

but still price has to be worth the performance factored in with how much I want to spend on a hobby.

Nooooo sir lol. It's already obselete. Noticed this rig comes with the SR2. A few days ago i posted about the SR3. So they fail already haha
And since the mobo is old tech, the CPUs are too. For nearly $15k i better be getting some top-of-the-line toys.
And intel SSDs are kinda slow in comparison to others. Bleh.
And those 580's...what is he doing? lol using EK water blocks when Swiftech is the exclusive waterblock used by EVGA for EVGA. I mean, the Swiftech waterblocks even glow with EVGA's logo. How cool is that? EVGA GTX 580 single-slot with glowing Swiftech waterblock (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130601) :D

And those EK CPU waterblocks fail too. Swiftech's Apogee XT was the best CPU cooler on the planet...until they released the Apogee HD a few days ago. Nothing beats it, especially not EK.
And 3 4x120 rads on top is a bit more expensive than a single 3x3x140 like the Mo Ra3 (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image_scroll&products_id=30141&image_scroll_id=0). (there is a version of this rad that is $30 cheaper as well, just doesn't allow mounting of fans on both sides for a push/pull configuration)

And my favorite line "Once your order is placed, we will get all of the parts..." Really? You don't have a single part but you want my $15k? lol hope you factored in the higher cost of hard drives in that $15k :p

It looks ugly, why should I pay $15,000 only to get an ugly black box with a power cord when for $1,000 I can build a solid rig and make it pimp too. Besides there's no windows on that thing. Whats the point of getting all that fancy plastic if you can't show it off at a LAN party?
