For a completely non-legit reason of course. I just wanted to have it. I like building PCs more than using them. So this time I was going for a LGA2011, and I didn't feel like settling for the entry level. I knew the Ivy bridge E had lower per-clock performance than the Haswell, so I compensated by getting the hexacore with 4Ghz. I can't wait for the Haswell-E (Or Broadwell-E).
I was kinda disappointed it came in an ordinary blue cardboard box though.
I went totally overkill on that build, (which is not finished yet). For reference, I'm folding at full power on my CPU and GPU (Gigabyte Radeon 7950 Ghz edition) and the fan on my PSU is not even spinning. (Corsair AX1200i). I'll be posting on pcpartpicker and /r/buildapc when I'm done.
