My Godlike New Computer
Eschatos \| 7:39 PM on 01.28.2008	41 comments

Every now and then I like to see the most expensive computer it would be possible to purchase anywhere. It's been a while since the last time I tried, but now I present to you:

The Blackbird, a machine I can only compare to the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I see a resemblance.

This beast starts at around $2399, but I am forced to get the most expensive version possible.

Behold! Ten thousand seven hundred two dollars and ninety two cents worth of computer parts, which forms the ultimate computing behemoth known to mankind!

P.S.
If any of you actually buys this for me I will give you the most sincere hug ever given in all of eternity.

P.P.S.
Why the fuck did Niero do away with "Last Comment: You suck. by God"? "Offline, brb" just isn't the same.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

B-Radicate

I was just on the HP site yesterday playing around the same way. How cute of us.

Tragic Hero

How dare you tease yourself with such notions of super computers? They day I can drop 10 grand on a supercomputer I better have a swimming pool full of Scrooge McDuck coins I can swim in.

Tell you what, Ill go halves on it with you.

Tragic Hero

Edit" replace The with They

Tragic Hero

I meant They with The. Damnit I suck at this

Cheeburga

I want..

Wedge

Lol at 3 disc drives.

Also still can't run Crysis on max.

Neonie

It's so beautiful.... *Drool*

Eschatos

One of the Drives is Blu-Ray�!

Sam Spectre

ask the little birdie if it's going to be the $10,000 configured version.

Aaron Mxy Yost

Can I call winner in that contest?

Turtule Soup

Pay that much and it still wont run teh crysis 2s

Sharpless

Ron, am I going to have to get naked for the contest?

Chaosye

I saw this a while back.

It is so much fucking win to watch.

IceMax

ONLY 4 Gigs? comon, you can do better than that

MaxVest

Another contest, eh? I'd better start painting my nipples and cross-dressing.

Then after that, I need to think about the coming contest and what it will take to win.

007

I hope you're still acting smug when your computer catches on fire and your warranty plan decides to screw you over.

doc love

anyone notice there's only a years warranty on that!?

007

Oh shit, I forgot to mention the part where I piss in your mouth after your jaw drops to the floor when seeing all of this.

liam2015

hahaha lol @ workman

smallkid

can you just buy the parts for like half the price and build it yourself? My friend did and he has basically the same specs minus the bluray drive

MrSadistic

I hope you can have sex with that computer, because if not then what is the point of having it?

PrinceofCannedPeaches

@MrSadistic
No worries, it has a Blu-Ray drive.

Samit Sarkar

Also, regarding your P.P.S., I think �(offline brb)� is meant to signify that the blog hits tally is a feature that is currently not working.

tazarthayoot

Ron, can I get naked anyway?

topgeargorilla

will it play the sims 2?

How about Roller Coaster Tycoon 3?

CaffeinePowered

Built it from scratch for like half the price

kawitchate

wait wait wait... it has Vista.

godkow

Come on topgeargorilla, lets stick with the major issues.

Would it be able to run two accounts of Runescape simultaneously?

topgeargorilla

oh my, thanks for clearing things up, godkow.

I mean, seriously, if it can't run two accounts of runescape simultaneously, it ain't worth owning.

Thanks ;)

konchu

That is insane could probably get more for you money building it though.

Andrex

oh god escha i HATE YOU!

oh and grats man, enjoy your new gaming experience intill..oh...3-4 years?

deiga-the-semivaliant

Wow, those are some nice specs.

It looks like it can ALMOST run Neverwinter Nights 2 on high settings!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA...

...too niche? Yeah, too niche.

Ichigo Style

My friends and I were playing around with this, and going across NewEgg picking individual parts to match these specs, we built a PC with the same power for somewhere about half the price, maybe less HDDs, I can't remember to be truthful. That case is something else, though

Eschatos

Let me just clarify something. I did not, nor ever would purchase this machine.

BS3 Owner

ewwww. Vista?

UselessKor

Instant fail is paying 10 grand for a bleeding edge comp that doesn't have DDR3 ram.

NICE FSB, BUDDY.

Anywho, who buys premade anymore?

Andrex

Escha im not surprised about you not buying it..who really spends 10k on a computer?

Eschatos

Little rich boys are the sole market for this beast, I would guess. And I bought my current computer premade, but that's only because when I got it I knew virtually nothing about computers. It's not a mistake I plan to repeat.
