$16,999. Yes, you're seeing that right. I almost crapped myself when I seen the price. It cost as much as  new car!

Still, it doesn't get much better than a liquid cooled Quad SLI EVGA GTX 580 setup. How long do you think a gaming rig like this could last for without it being surpased by a $1000 setup in the future? I'd guess maybe 3 years, with 4 being the most.

I'm not sure how entirely necessary dual xeons are for a gaming rig would be.

And I'm not gonna guess... computer stuff is too difficult to predict. 

i could buy 2 of those and get better performance.

I approve :D

So no AMD version of this?

And even without that, it doesn't seem like that great of a computer. Is all that power really necessary?

We're getting that as a gamrReward #1 prize in December.Get your point farms ready,guys!

I'm not sure any game would use even one of the X5680 Xeons, given that it's a 6-core CPU.

That said, here is a 10-core CPU:

Each one costs $4616 by itself... You can put up to 8 of those on a server, which would be 80 cores. But you may have to sell your house to build that server...

I bet some consolefag will see this and start going around saying "lol gaming PCs all cost $17,000! umad?".

It's built for power. Why on Earth would there be an AMD verion?

No it isn't. It's the kind of thing that only a ricer would buy.

The average gamer wouldn't even use 1/4 of the power that thing has.

Why would someone that?!

12GB Corsair GT 2000Mhz_ Why? They won't be able to top that speed, even overclocked.

12x Pioneer Blu-ray burner_ How useful for... nothing?

Liquid cooled Xbox360_ Seriously?

That's... just... wrong.

2100 watt psu?? That's 2 microwave ovens on high...
No HDMI port????

My 2 year old $700 dollar pc is still doing fine with current games.
