$100,000 PC laughs at this.. still a pretty insane system.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

Review: The actual build quality still has something to be desired, the front panel is quite limiting in air flow - only allowing roughly 4.5 mm of intake, not nearly enough for the 3 140mm fans stacked at the front. The side panel is acrylic and scratches very easily, I only had it for a day before noticing a large streak appearing next to the power supply shroud. Moving further up, the top of it is made from cheap aluminium and feels quite flimsy - I assume they did this to cut corners with the price, a budget PC like this had to somewhere. When we look inside the chassis I was pleasantly surprised to find that the lights had been photoshopped in and it was in reality 3 thin pieces of metal that represent the GPUs. I tried switching the system on but it just posted a screen saying 'Git gud kid'  that was when a PTSD flashback took me to CSGO times when I'd join a lobby full of Russians who did nothing but scream 'Cyka blyat' and blame me when we lost the pistol round. 

 

The CPU - while stating that it was an 'I9 7980XE' was not. It was a typo on the site that after purchase I realised that it was an Intel (Intel I3-89.330845736509178087111067814528)2

 

Overall I'm quite disappointed with the system, I had been hoping for something that could help me beat my highscore in minesweeper but alas, this was not competent enough. 

 

3.5/10 - Not the greatest.

Extremely overpriced and way outdated.

And didn't Nvidia drop support for triple SLI a while back?

Okay

It's custom modded, they replaced the chipset so it could be more expensive

If you square 3 you get 9 too, at least that's what I was going for xD 

Sure, seems logical.
