I don't know if this was the right place to post this (a nickel for every time you've heard that...) but I wanted to jot down a list for fun of what I would do if I were given a huge budget to go all out on.

You can get a better build for the price.

there's a lot of things you can do for that price.

Would you honor me with your 4000th post on how you think it could be better kindly?

[SAV1OUR]

the motherboard only supports duel xeon

[Fred Castellum]

Have a custom built desk with your computer installed in the desk. Nice glass and lighting... tons of monitors.... ahh the stuff you could do with that much money. 

The amount of money I'd be able to make with that much money....

You can't run 2 4960x's at once. You have to use Xeon E5's instead, which can cost up to ~$2800 each

I would buy a car and a PC for that price. Come on lets be honest. 4 SLI doesn't scale very well so I would just three. Also if you want all the power, maybe a Titan Black?

Sigh... Theoretical... What don't you all understand.. If you would read the text I said I made this for fun. Please don't be debby downers and just say that it sucks because you would spend it otherways.

[Anthony10]

More useful to spend that $11000 on mining rigs that can make $5000 per month.

I know but Titan Black or go home...

 

Also 12TB PCIe SSD

Ah that sucks I'll have to change that, but why can't you? Just wondering 

[Polyvalent]

6x Seagate 4TB SSHD

 

 

SWEET LAWDY JESUS

There would be no room for PCIe SSDs and I'm assuming that would blow the """budget""" out of the water. I like the Titan Black Idea, forgot about that new card. Effectively the same card as the 780 ti with a bit better specs but more memory.

[werto165]

The cost of the RAM WOW!

[EpicGeekonFire]

Just terrible for the price. Not even fun to think of theoretically.

Extreme edition processors don't support multi-cpu.

That SSD costs about 3000$+. Also the memory would be helpful at 12K

No QPI Link that allows communication with second processor.

Hm, I think the current drive setup is perfect because all the pci slots are taken by video cards, and the drive cages wouldnt be blocking any airflow because the watercooling is held in the top and bottom of the case.

It could work if you use a PCIe riser

This would be in a CM HAF Stacker.

[Anthony10]

Updated GPUs and changed the CPU. Does the motherboard support this CPU?

[nsyedhasan]

This would be in a CM HAF Stacker.

You could probably fit it somewhere

Haha ok fine I'll add it. Link me to a website selling it so I can have an accurate price.
