Bragging rights bro, its all about the power.

i.e. "look what i have and you dont" kind of thing.

This would be so cool to have. But by the time you get it it would probably be the standard, so the way i see it, no point...

One would think that it would make you look like a total nerd and then you can be disappointed when people really don't care as much as you thought.

Then that sinking feeling comes in when you realize you owe Nvidia $12,300

I think more people would be impressed that you have a car, not some computer that's useless for every day use.

For that money you could buy four pre owned kias and combine them to make a massive KIA LIMOUSINE OF AWESOMENESS! pirate.gif

Or you can have Bobsama build one and then pay him the difference as a cost for labour.

They have cards optimized for CAD

They're better then any other nvidia cards for what they do.

downsides, that I think I notice aware.gif
2.33 GHz processer? My 4 year old laptop has more than that.
12GB of system memory, if it is RAM, then that is amazing, but it is is hard drive, it is horrible.
It runs on XP, most computers run on Vista now, and if you go the HP, or some other brand, they don't even stock XP systems anymore.

Not sure if that is really some of the downsides, but that was what popped out at me when I looked at the Tech Specs page of it.

The systems dedicated 4GB RAM per GPU. With these systems, you'd be adding Terabytes of hard disk space. It's certainly not a mini-laptop.

Big deal. Wait for quantum computing. Now that's mind boggling.

CUDA is awesome i'd love to have AMD/ATI support more GPU accelerated apps, and not the video encoding programs that aren't toooo great.
