just made something about as ridiculously overspecced as I could on pcpartpicker just for the hell of it

now that i think about it i could have made it more ridiculous
that case has space for more hard drives, imagine six or seven 16 TB HDDs in RAID 10
definitely could have used a more ridiculous monitor too but... i want this one. 3440x1440 is a pleasing resolution
@Felthry it's still less expensive than some customized Mac configurations, haha
@connie wait what
@Felthry here's the starting price for the Mac Pro tower pc, and here's after I pick every most expensive option available
@connie wwhat the fuck apple
@Felthry to be fair this is with: a 28 core 4.4ghz processor, 1.5 terabytes of ram, *two* 32gb video cards, and 8 terabytes of storage...
@connie the ridiculous thing i put together has it beat in the storage and processor though, it has a 64-core processor (2.9 ghz but with that many cores does the clock speed really matter?) and a total of 20 tb of storage
i guess i could have stuffed a quadro or two in there to make it more ridiculous
