| 568160 | 2007-07-12 00:19:00 | Ain't that the truth, All my parts have now arrived and half of the bits have been superseded and the new rig isn't even built yet. Haha, When buying a computer you can be assured of two things, it will be instantly out of date and you will always wish you waited just that little bit longer before buying it. |

| 568161 | 2007-07-12 00:28:00 | It is a bit like buying a top end sports car, if you can afford it you don't worry about what it costs you just appreciate driving it, and if you have to ask "how much?" then it is obviously too much for you.:D | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 568162 | 2007-07-12 01:06:00 | Under 5K is a good gaming setup....and maybe up to 30K...huge screen 100" in a special entertainment room... | Mr Wetzyl (362) | ||

If you want a super pc try the IBM Blue Gene with 3 petaflops performance. |

| 568166 | 2007-07-12 03:56:00 | It would appear that JamesO, Like Elvis, has left the building. Another "fly by nighter" if you ask me. |

| 568167 | 2007-07-12 08:20:00 | It would appear that JamesO, Like Elvis, has left the building.Yes indeed, I bet he can't afford it. These bustards. And winmacguy, that blue gene PC is use for research units in England and some other places, of course that is not a gaming PC, but a great example of a Super Computer because it cost heaps. |

| 568168 | 2007-07-12 09:25:00 | PedalSlammer : No kidding dude. Scientific research also in coroporates climate change and weather forecasting. (parallel computing) The other type of super computing is known as Grid or Cluster computing which is where you hook up a bunch of Linux or Xserve machines that are connected via Infiniband Hi end networks to perform distributed computing tasks such as Movie rendering and CFD. The US Navy has an XServe set up for CFD on jets as do our engineering friends at Virginia Tech Campus which is capable of 10.2 teraflops which cost 5 million US at time of installation. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
