PHEW!!!!

This ones a doozy... ($9000+ as is)

much more serious build, but with enough left over for a Watercooling setup and your own personal choice for Keyboard/mouse (obviously things like case, etc can be changed if you don't like them, but its one of the roomiest on the market currently)

this build is rounded out for 3D modeling, etc, plus gaming.

ok, where to start...

GPU2: For 3D modeling maybe even use it for PhysX with the 295, Newegg.com - PNY Quadro FX 4800 VCQFX4800-PCIE-PB Quadro FX4800 1.5GB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Supported Workstation Video Card - Workstation Graphics / Video Cards

Sound Card: though mobo has onboard hardware Creative X-fi, Creatives driver support is crap, and limits the X-fi's total features, only Auzentechs X-fi's are completely unleashed, Newegg.com - ASUS Xonar D2X 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards

TV tuner card: Why a tuner card? you'll see with accessories below

Total, $9,133.80 before shipping, $120 in mail in rebates. shipping looks like close to $150-160.

but that leaves almost $800 for use on Water cooling for various components and keyboard, Mouse choice.

for $10,000 budget, that's one potential build.

would just need to swap in the OS from the GTX 295 to Quadro when doing 3D stuff, back to 295 for gaming. not sure, but might even be able to use the Quadro for PhysX processing while using the 295. HDMI out from cards, or from sound card to home theater setup which is a 7.1 setup, and 1200W of power, and to a 46" 1920x1080 display. add in the HDTV tuner, and ALL of that storage, plenty of room for recording shows, and what not.

3D workstation, Gaming Rig, PVR, HTPC, etc all in one massive, and expensive build.

looks pretty sick, me and karma are still working on a build too ill post the parts later.

And ill be able to take out that gaming headset as i just got the new razer one its sick.

That TV tuner is a good idea too because in my dorm at college i always have my monitor as my tv.

KarmaKiller · July 3rd, 2009, 06:12 PM

Yeah, I got to looking at stuff again, and that GPU waterblock I told ya to get won't fit.
Now the problem is they don't make any blocks for the FTW edition of that card, so that kind of sucks.
I've been looking for something else, no luck yet though.

Lol. If he is going to spend $10k, I dont really think he is going to bother with $150 in rebates.

well, I'm just used to adding that for lists, especially if the user/poster can warrant spending that much over their budget (for shipping or extras) knowing/hoping they'll be getting that money back down the road.
