This is the type of stuff you make when you go on a boutique builder's website or PCPartPicker and just try to select the most overkill part selection for kicks and giggles. Wonder if Linus can get a hold of one for "review". And just in case you were wondering how much this costs in American dollars, it comes out to $43,015.65, and this is just the starting price.

 

A review/overview done by TTC:

 

[GoldenLag]

They really should have gone with server parts at this price. Not the old skylake X parts.

 

9900k + EPYC 7601 (overclocked, yes i realize there is a lack of mobos)

[S w a t s o n]

Is 2kW actually enough to run both of these systems at full clip? and would the cooling actually be able to deal with that?

 

[FPSwithaWacomTablet]

Oh damn, my keypad is called the 8-Pack...

No, if you hit both systems with heavy loads, it would trip (hopefully). Considering a single Titan RTX can bounce off of 300W each, without overclocking. Cooling, I honestly can't comment on.

2000W 80Plus Platinum 8Pack Edition Super Flower Leadex Power supply

Someone injected the marketing department with a load of caffeine then.

[Froody129]

I can't see anyone actually buying this unless you've just won the lottery. The PSU is also underpowered for the system and it's all super overpriced, even for a boutique build 

[Dylanc1500]

I recommend looking at the reviews of it. I got quite a chuckle out of some of them.

Why

[Real_PhillBert]

I honestly don't understand the point of this system.

[Tech_Dreamer]

See Linus!! This is how you actually do a 1% build !!!

[Syntaxvgm]

Will see this on youtube about a month from now 
"I game on a 40k$ PC!" "Mindblowing"
(It's about 5% better than a 2000$ PC)

Overcompensation.

 

 

The perfect product for @D13H4RD.

What a bullshit build. Nobody should ever buy this, under any circumstances.

No W3175X in it?  What's wrong with 8PACK?

I just don't see the point of having two systems in one case. You can only use one computer at a time, why not just have one, powerful computer.

Streaming/encoding PC + gaming PC

Server + client

Two systems for 2 people in one case

When playing video games at the office and the boss walks in, you can quickly switch to your work without the boss ever knowing?  Though it seems a bit overkill.....ah, who am I kidding.  There's no kill like overkill.

If your boss gives you this as an office PC, you have the best boss in the world.

This exact system: see above + idiocy.

Except you don't need to spend that much to do those tasks.  This is just complete overkill.

Again, add idiocy.

 

I mean, I run a multitude of systems for similar reasons.

Two of them fit on a dinner plate, and if you stack them, they're still smaller than an XBOne.
