Woah there though, did anyone look at the FOUR 512GB SSDs?
That’s 2 TB SOLID STATE DRIVES!
Sure Mac’s are disgustingly expensive, but a PC would also be ridiculously expensive with 2TB SSDs!
that’s pretty pricey for a mere 3.0ghz 6 core. an amd 8 core desktop won’t run anywhere even close to that lol mac people must have money to piss away like they just don’t care.
Well, it IS 2x 3.06GHz 6 core server CPUs, not just one. Since they’re server CPUs, you can’t really compare them to desktop ones. Compare this to, say, 2x AMD Opteron 3.1GHz 4300 series 6 core server CPUs and I bet you’d have a good fight on your hands.
Those are XEON processors. Even base Xeon processors are going to cost in the range of $1k a processor, and high end Xeons will run up to $4k a processor. Coupled with 4x512gb SSDs, 64gb of ram and a $1k Fibre Channel Card, this guy is getting off pretty easy.

yeah but nobody really needs that anyways. that’s just a geek want because i want kind of thing.
Actually, 2 TB Solid State in a striped RAID… damn, my rendering would be fast… especially with the 12 cores and the 64 GB RAM

Actuall … I think this picture says quite a lot … I did however not find all the proper parts, but it should work with these pieces …

Wrong, that particular Xeon processor is extremely inexpensive. $300-400 per processor. And ‘Base’ Xeons cost less than $200.
I bet I could go to Alienware and make a better computer for more!
