Record for Most powerful retail computer built.

Just random question.
What is the most powerful Retail computer built.
No supercomputers please.

for a laptop: a BTO (build to order) aptop with best specs
for dual screen laptops: spacebook gscreen

Honestly there is no answer. Computer hardware is always advancing that the most powerful computer today is second place tomorrow. There is also no way to push a pc to the max the same way every time. So while you may have the same specs/ hardware, one may slightly/ heavily outperform the other. As for what pc builder offers the highest performance, I can't say, Alienware and Digital Storm are a top choices to some, but for the most part you're paying for brand aesthetics more than anything.

I give you the Large Pixel Collider.

So are we just going you have to buy it stock from a big box store or can we go it custom built from factory or special custom for this place in boston i know with a dual cpu mobo?

Talking custom built.
And to the fag that posted the Large Pixel Collider, its not overclocked at all so not really competition.

I would have thought non overclocked would be best... hmm

...

You are a fucking idiot.

my god, it looks beautiful...SANTA!!!

Digital Storm really knows how to put their shit together.

Are we talking strictly PC, or are workstations and servers fair game too?

No, because they are overpowered as fuck.
ONE PROCESSOR. NOT TWO.

Okay, so a single processor.

Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 - $2,200

2x ASUS GeForce GTX TITAN Video Card - 6GB GDDR5 - $2000

Kingston Beast 64GB @ 2133MHz - $800

ASUS P9X79 Intel X79 - $255

CoolerMaster M2 RSF00 - $380

Silverstone FT02B-W Fortress Mid Tower Case - ATX, mATX, Steel Body - $260

Total: $5895

Technically a better MOBO would be the best Sabretooth model out right now but it doesn't support the clock speed of the Kingston RAM AFAIK. I could also use a Quadro video card instead but that would bring it to workstation level. RAM, Case and Power Supply are subjective, I'm not willing to look up test results for each.

>2 GTX TITANS
>NOT 4'
>YNAUT Maximus V Extreme.

4 Titans would give it high-end workstation grade processing capability, a single Quadro would both cost less and provide better performance, if you wanted to get really insane you could stick two in there, but after the second, the performance impact is going to be extremely minimal. You'd basically be shoveling out money for nothing, the same goes for putting more than 2 titans in, the only way you're going to use that amount of power is if you're either working with or writing your own software capable of handling it. Extremely resource intensive tasks that are not even close to being something a common PC user would attempt. There are very few applications or games that are capable of handling more than 2 video cards.

The Maximus V is an inferior motherboard. It neither supports the socket required to run the processor nor does it have the eight slots required for running 64GB of RAM. Don't let gimmicky names fool you.

True.
But I still wouldnt rather the quadro/fire pro cards.

with that kind of work station it need some good storage. So... 2x 1TB ssd and 4x 4G WB 10000 RPM HD
all raid 0 :D
