View Full Version : What is the most expensive rig you can build
slik1000 08-12-2008, 07:36 PM I thought that since PC gets the name of being for millionares, we should at least justift it.
rules Not including more than 10 CPU's, what is the most expensive PC that you can build, including Mouses, Keyboards, Monitors, Operating Systems. The whole lot. Im betting no one can make one above £30K.
You can use every port available on your PC, for instance, if you had 4 GPUs with 2 "out" ports you could have 8 screens. If you have 20USB ports you can buy as many mouses, microphones, cameras as you like. They all have to be able to be plugged into your PC at once though.
GO!
Edit I forgot to say that you should post your rig below.

$51,609 you didn't say no servers right? Viva loopholes!
slik1000 08-14-2008, 03:21 PM I would alow Servers, but that server has (4x4+1) 17CPUs, so its not allowed in.
Ala Douche 08-14-2008, 06:43 PM heh, i was going to go to the apple store for this, but saw you already did. :(

Hardly ownewd as $51k is probably only about £10. :p
zeush8su 08-14-2008, 07:03 PM Hehe so far I have the highest gaming rig@ $44,608.65 = £100
Can we also add the cost of the how much electricity that rig will use in a month?lol
slik1000 08-15-2008, 06:04 PM You could, but everyone will have to do that. The UK just had a 33% rise in power bills, so we would just pwn you in that area too.
