If we are talking a single component, it would be my ASUS PG348Q, however if we are talking about multiple of the same component, it would be my GTX 980ti Matrix SLI

This, my Asus Nvidia GTX 970 with "Turbo OC" blower, it was R$1740,00 at the time of purchase, around US$473,00.

Sounds kinda cheap, maybe, but it's a lot of money here in the country, considering a camshaft for my truck costs around the same and i got the entire truck for R$7500,00

My main monitor, the PB287Q. Unless the computer itself counts as a single object, in which case it easily takes first place.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

473 USD sounds like a lot of money for a GTX 970 anywhere in the world, considering they go for about 330-350 USD in the USA or about 370 euros in the EU :P

But you're from Brazil right? Heard everything from outside your country is expensive, since the import taxes are so high :/ (Because Brazil wanted the economy grow, by having produced there)

At work: an all in one PC with windows embedded for 40 000€. Runns at frequencies up to 20 GHz. But it can't run crysis ;)

 

No joke, everything is true, but actually it's a network analyzer.

I sold my virginity for 800€. Nah.

 

Probably my monitor, followed by my 980 followed by my 4790k. I can´t help myself. I just luv dis.

Fanboys, on both sides, are quite embarrassing. How can one be a "fan" of a company? A companies only goal is to make a profit off you. Instead of being a smart consumer and base your purchase decision on the best price / performance you choose to dick yourself over by only considering brand X. Idiotic loss to be honest.

Exactly, everything is overpriced because the imports are simply not viable anymore.

Even back in the day when the conversion of USD X BRL was around R$2 per US dollar (it's around R$3,66 per US dollar now, was higher some months ago), the "internal tax laws" would come in and double the price on said product for the purpose of scamming some money because of "import fees and illegal entrance of selling product in the country",a legal fine, even if it was for personal use. If you wouldn't go to the postal service (Correios) and pay said tax, they would not give you the product and you would lose your entire purchase.

As they call, Republic of Bananas really, with PT in charge of the country, corruption all over the place (even NY Times is getting some coverage on this, today), companies closing their doors, people not being able to pay for water and energy, well it is rough.

And some even bother to think the left wing is good for the countries, just look what leftists did to Brazil, they crushed the country.

It's nearly 5 years old, but is great value if you don't mind the noise under high load- temps are fine. 70 on the one, 73-76 on the other- it's a dual overclocked GTX 580 card- Asus Mars 2 580 if you're interested. It performs in between a GTX 960 and a 970- It's a GTX 965 for £100 less. 

Of course its gonna get hot. Its Fermi lol
