Ridiculous Gaming PC Stuffs Xbox 360 Into the Case as Well

[C95J]

that is one hardcore machine...

 

[kibayasu]

What a complete waste of money.

When they are done selling this to the one millionare celebrity that asked "the most ridiculusly expensive gaming pc". They are going to go bankrupt.
I am a pc gamer and are ashamed other people might even consider spending more than 10k on something like this.

You can make a computer that can run pretty much anything that's out today or coming out this year on max settings for 1000-1200 dollars.. You don't need to spend 17000 dollars to futureproof your computer.. with proper use of upgrading your system, you can get a decade's worth of max settings for 4000-5000 dollars spread out over the course of 10 years... 17000 seems a ridiculous sum, and only really worth it to people who are so dense about their computers that they can't be bothered to even understand half of what a computer like that is capable of. There's no reason to spend so much money to futureproof your computer when computers are largely modular.

and a 360 is worth 300 bucks. So add 300 bucks to that, heck, add 900, we'll say that's a decade's worth of 360s.

So in total, that's about 7200 bucks for a decade of computing/console gaming hardware, So it's almost on par with the basic model of this computer. but that's spent over the course of 10 years, and the 7500 dollar model isn't much more "futureproof" then the model you could put together for 1200 bucks and maintain over the course of 10 years.

What he said.

Anyone else get kinda pissed as they read this? Seriously, shit like this is why people think PC gaming is for elitists. I could make a rig (and did) that plays all of the best games of today including Crysis, for 400 bucks. And there's assholes that want you to pay the price of a new car for a gimmickie and impractical rig? I call bullshit.

It's not that ridiculous, well OK, it is somewhat ridiculous.
It could still be good for... um, the kid of a fairly wealthy family who has an Xbox, but also wants to get into PC gaming.

OK, or maybe it could be good for someone who's never gotten a game system until now... yeah.

Seriously though, eh... it's a pretty good idea to increase sales, if nothing else. I don't see many people buying it though.

Do not hook that into your house! Do not do it! Bad things will happen to good people! It will turn your house into a walking deathmachine!

That thing is the Reapers in it's earliest form!!!

A computer that good should be able to run a 360 emulator anyway.

However, this computer still has absolutely no chance of solving a TAS for any game over 1 minute long. That's a problem that's theoretically solvable by any Turing machine, but takes an absurd amount of computing power.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Logan, but your more than wrong on the i7 980X 4.3Ghz, 2 TB hdds, 6gb RAM. That, without graphics cards, will only cost around 500? and only last for about the next 2 years, tops. So, yeah, those PCs are, like Alienware or Dell, just for show off. Anybody with at least some knowledge can build a PC, minus the fucking console, for less than a quarter of the price and almost the same power under the hood.

I know that building a PC is much cheaper than buying one, but you could not get those specs for 500 euros. You're talking at least $2000, and that's a PC with an i7 3.06GHz and a 500GB harddrive. Plus that's with 2 ATI 5870's, which offer less performance than 2 Nvidia GTX 480's.

It is ONLY a viable option if you really really love PC gaming, but hate gaming PCs.

a dual 1 Kilowatt PSU

seems like this baby needs a nuclear reactor to power this rig.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Well...If I win the lottery or a game show, I'll buy one.

 

[Low Key]

That's actually not a bad price. I was pricing out my ultimate computer (just in case I won the lottery), and will everything decked out, the price came to about $15,000. That's with 3 top of the line graphics cards, 24GB of RAM, 2 SSD hard drives RAID ready, and a 6 core processor amongst other things.

Oh hey guys, did you hear? Gary Oak invented a $100 super computer that has over 500 CPUs and over 9000 GB of RAM. It also comes with a infinite Hard-drive that never runs out of room!

I spent a good 600 dollars building an above-average gaming rig. I then go onto the Espcapist and wouldn't you know it, GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK made this computer for $100. DAMMIT!

OT: <quote=Article>4.0 GHz quad core processor, 6 GB of memory and a 2 TB hard drive

I don't even think most designers have computers like that. Let alone gamers.

 

[skennedy929]

I'm not even that huge a nerd and I immediately thought "I could build that same machine (sans 360) for like 1000 bucks."

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Just think...in 10 years? PC world will be doing these for 300 quid, tops.

 

[-Samurai-]

Pffft. Worthless. It doesn't even have a cup holder!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Yeah...well...

Can it see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
