Ever seen a $16,338.89 computer? Take a look at the two pictures included in this post. You can go to Tom's Hardware and see a 25 page detailed article about how it was assembled. This thing has 16 cores and 32gigs of ECC RAM. Yes those are 9 external cooling fans on the right side. Of course there is massive water cooling involved. It is running Windows Server 2008 Standard and has multiple hard drives utilizing both RAID 1 and RAID 5. The case is a Coolermaster. Sorry, if I had this machine there's NO way it would run as a server. Chunk the ECC RAM, load up 32gigs of standard RAM then download and play Guild Wars! Of course if I had enough money to build this machine the whole selection at iTunes would be on it too. Then build a room just to house this unit with a 65" monitor. Home Theater type seats would be needed. Yes, that's it! That''s the ticket! And I'd have my wife, Morgan Fairchild, promise to keep her sticky fingers off of it!!! LOL! Amazing machine.
