The reason you don't see many 'uber' rigs, is because there are very few reasons to have a top notch rig these days. It isn't like back when every Quake game forced you to upgrade your entire computer.Maybe when doom3/halflife2 come out there will be a large demand to push hardware once again... but I highly doubt it.

Right now, having top of the line just means you wasted your cash for bragging rights. It used to actually mean you had a noticeably faster system.

Take a look at the link in my signature (it is not a text page on Anandtech). I have not touched it in a few months and never got finnished with that page (started it and left). Maybe I will fix it sometime soon.

Yep, the specs are off. I have since bought a
Radeon 9700
Another PC2700 512Mb stick for dual channel memory

Your rigs may all be badass, but fkloster's is the ONLY rig that is worthy of REAL ULTIMATE POWER

In fact, it is so badass, it goes around porking your crappy rigs - in the _blowholes_.
