So, if you feel like drooling...

Well that system's pretty go-...

Wait.

A ergonomics keyboard?

Fail.
 
Memory any faster than what I've got would just be held back by the processor if I'm not mistaken. FSB on the 6700 is only 1066MHz, which I think means that the memory can only go at that speed, unless I'm completely confused. Unless, of course I overclock... but then I'd want watercooling, which is probably another grand or so...
 
2 8800's will come in handy so you can not play dx10 games that much faster

maybe, but I could play just about anything on full AA and AF at 1920x1200 on my 24" screens and still get liquid-like FPS rates.

EDIT: not to mention being completely set for crysis :D

Check out this system I put together on Newegg:

The highlights:

Intel 6700 Quad-Core
Dual eVGA 8800GTX 768MB in SLI
PCP&C 1000W Power Supply
3x Fujitsu 15k RPM SAS (serial attached scsi) HDDs (for raid 5)
Dual 24" widescreens

So, anyone got $8000 burning a hole in their wallet?

that's pretty awesome but by the time a game comes out that would make good use of that rig it would be down to half that price


hmm didnt know there was a commercial SAS solution ..my IT guy was saying it's too expensive to come to home computers
edit: jeez that price is steep

the only thing I would add to that is this awesome pc case

Yeah I actually saw it in Dell's configurator thing, but I think it was on a Precision or something. But as you saw, the controller and drives are pretty expensive.

So basically, the entire case is a heatsink? THAT is sexy. Want.

we just ordered a server with a sas ..we had to return it because dell doesnt sell floppy drives and our software drivers are on floppies and we cant get them on a sas drive ..so we've moved back to traditional scsi controller

yup, completely silent
 
What? I just looked on their website and Dell still puts floppy drives on their servers... Regardless, the server board didn't have ANY IDE controller/ports so you could just go out and buy a $10 floppy drive?
 
no, that's why we returned it ..I think we're getting an ibm server instead
 
Plus the fact that the $1000 plus it costs is for the case only, not a complete PC.

Except for the harddrive and cd/dvd when in use.

nope:

"In addition, the sturdy aluminum case (5 to 7mm thick) blocks HDD noise to achieve completely silent computing"

"TNN500A's noise level is below 20dB and cannot be measured. (The anechoic room used by ZALMAN has an ambient noise level of 20dB.) "
