Only because of the vaporware buss speeds. When it becomes practicle (released in mass) and they put 2 or 4 processors in, then it will be a good machine.

Well the P4 is a 800mhz bus. That case is a modified VapoChill which means they are overclocking the living heck out of it. So I think about 950mhz on the buss sounds about right. Nothing about that computer is undoable that I see.

So what you are saying is that there is nothing special about that machine. It's just an over the top overclocked machine. Not going to be nearly as stable as a four processor machine like you can get from SGI or build yourself. Or maybe a more humble 2 processor machine. OK, now I am really not impressed, I though it was cutting edge tech, not just some machine on steroids.

As far as stability goes. I'm not a big fan over Overclocking. BUT I have a friend who purchased a VapoChill case and over clocks to a huge degree with it. Runs really stable.

I think it has alot to do with how darned COLD the cpu runs with that case.

This website is a scam. I read about it a while back. I will look for the article.

All the pictures are photoshopped from other products. Of all the employees, only a few have been able to be verified as actual people, and one is going by a flase name.

EDIT: Here is the website

lol. Anyway if you want to get into that kind of over clocking you can get the case of alot of websites (it doesn't have the LCD screen however) and build basicly the rest up yourself. From my quick glace earier the only thing I saw listed that I'm not sure about is that little solid state ram thing for Hard driveless computers. The rest is basicly all out there somewhere. Just google vapochill and you'll see.

Yeah cause Xeon processors are SO affordable by most people. And besides 4 way motherboard are around for bargain basement prices. biggrin.gif Sorry just had to add some reality for the rest of us to the idea of a 4way Xeon box.

I have a question about those monitors. Can you use them them as one big monitor? Like have one website on one. writing a paper on the other and doing something else on the other?

Yes, you can do that with monitors. But, given that this is a scam, I would not suggest trying to buy THOSE monitors. smile.gif

I saw a set of multi LCD monitors and controller go for VERY cheap on Ebay. Normally they get some pretty premium money for those displays.


Lets see, a 4 socket board was somewhere around $400.00 and then 4 Xeons is what another $1600, plus it will likely use SODIMM memory so about twice the price of regular. And the the SCSI drives at several hundred per 18GB of storage, and you need at least 5 of them. And then you need a special version of windows since the regular versions only handle up to 2 processors (the Macs users will question that windows can't even handle 1 processor). So yes it will be some rather large amount, but it will be really fast!

Can't argue with that!

On the monitors, here is where I saw them at.
