Costliest Computer Ever Built For Personal Use-$16,000 Project

To make matters interesting-this is not a PC built to play those high-end-GPU neck throttling games. As per the news, this monstrous PC is built for the sole purpose of performing complex fractal calculations. So, no gaming on this rig guys. Hmmm, unbuckle your belts.

So, what’s the configuration?

Puget Systems built up this rig with amazing configuration which is priced at $16,338.89 including one year parts warranty and a lifetime of warranty on labor.

Now, the specs:

• Four quad-core Opteron processors
• 32 GB of memory
• Windows Server 2008
• Asus Xonar DX PCI Express sound card
• 3Ware 9550SX-8LP SATA 3 Gb/s RAID controller
• Two Western Digital 300 GB VelociRaptor hard drives in RAID 1
• Two 1 TB Samsung SpinPoint F1s also in RAID 1
• Four 1 TB Samsung SpinPoint F1s in RAID 5.

Also include MagiCool’s Xtreme Nova 1080 radiator, Nine 120 mm fans, Four Koolance CPU blocks, Koolance combined pump and reservoir unit, and Cooler Master Stacker 810 case.

This amazing PC had been described in detail at Slashdot. We presume we have covered most of the interesting facts you would love to know above itself, but you can take a look at the actual post there.
