    Good to know! I'm not seriously considering doing this, it's more a "what would it take" kind of thing
  2. CelluloidRacer2
    Just because! No particular reason, and you are right, the overall cost is significantly higher than building 16 individual rigs
  3. CelluloidRacer2
    Foreword: I realize this is incredibly impractical and insane, but I want to see how many holes y'all can poke in this idea to see just how impossible it is. PCPartPicker: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2dG7LD Note that PCPartPicker has some misinformation about the processor, thinking it's incompatible with the mobo, googling revealed otherwise The specs given to each VM are as follows: 8 GBs of RAM 4 Cores 2 TBs of storage One nVidia GTX Titan X The idea was to build "16 gamers one rack", but to do so I found some obstacles (here are the ones I've at least partially tackled): 1q: How do you fit 16 GPUs in a chassis? 1a: Short answer is to seperate them see this to understand what exactly I mean 2q: How do you connect 16 GPUs? There's only so many slots! 2a: Backplanes! (Although it does mean chopping bandwidth, which I'm still trying to figure out) 3q: How do you get so many processors/threads for vms? 3a: Go dual sockets with xeon processors, lots of processors/threads! 4q: How do you get each user USB connections? 4a: Use a hub or dock Some issues I haven't dealt with: Graphics card bandwidth USB/IO Bandwidth Hypervisors may not be able to see the GPUs and thus may not be able to assign them to VMs Storage interfaces (enough IO and ports?) Edit was to make the title more accurate

    The idea would be a little like Linus' personal rig, only throughout the home
  5. CelluloidRacer2
    Didn't know if this would qualify as network (but didn't think so). As the title implies, I am looking for a way to get thunderbolt 3 to the other side of my house without paying 800$ for a optical thunderbolt 3 cable.
  6. CelluloidRacer2
    Thanks

    My phone supports wireless qi charging, but only with a 'special' case. The case doesn't plug into my phone, so I'm curious why I would need it. My phone is the Sony Xperia Z3
  8. CelluloidRacer2
    I should add that it needs a mic.... I'll do that, but if not for that, those headphones look good
  9. CelluloidRacer2
    Any idea what the best headphones are for under 300$? EDIT: Needs to have a microphone (so it's a headset)
  10. CelluloidRacer2
    I'm currently using a Keyboard/Mouse combo, the Logitech MK320, I'm looking at replacing it due to input lag problems when i have high CPU usage I'm also using a set of Turtle Beach X12's as they're actually not bad, and I have some headphones for when i'm not gaming, the Monster/Diesel Vektr headphones
  11. CelluloidRacer2
    On the CPU? performs nicely for me. If you think so, then there is always the 4460/s/k, 4690/k, and 4790/k for lga1150

    Android, because it is open source, and your don't need to root/jailbreak for many things. Also live backgrounds without rooting
  14. CelluloidRacer2
    The CPU cooler looks cool, but it is also very expensive, i would recommend a Cooler Master 212 evo or T2, or a corsair H series liquid cooler
  15. CelluloidRacer2
    Depends what he wants to do with his hard drives, I filled a 500GB hard drive in 3 months with general use
