FYI

Nope, it won't, it can't, and it dosen't know anything past number 10, because I'm a PC....9_9

If that were my PC, I wouldn't have let Linus within 5 miles of it. Think it goes without saying why.

We're all weird. Just in our own, unique way.

Sorry, forgot the sarcasm. I would expect something like that to be close to $100,000 NZD, and I have no intention of spending that sort of money on something that I would only use to run cinebench.

I have a hard time seeing the point of a computer like this. Its really not that fast and it costs a ton of money. For massive number crunching it makes more sense to rent time on a cluster.

But how many gamers can it hold?

 

That is the real question. Linus, why did you not do a 5000000 gamers 1 CPU build with this? Disappointed.

Do you even fanboy bro?

This raises a good point... assuming the workload in question can be split across multiple separate PCs, how much CPU power could you get for the same money buying more "consumer-level" PCs/CPUs?  Like, a bunch of 6700K systems, for example.  One would have to figure out CPU power / total system cost to identify the ideal CPU to use - ie, the best performance / $ CPU would actually not be the answer since each additional system would bring with it some "overhead" in the way of motherboard cost, etc. - but if you did, and spent the same $40k, how much better would it do? :D  Would it do better?  Things we wonder... :P 

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

When the case for the computer you're showcasing doesn't actually have anything in it.

This isn't the case you're looking for.
