A buddy of mine asked me to do a build for him, he is a Graphics Artist and wants me to do a build. So here are the nuts and bolts, all I can say is WTF!!!!!!

Plus if need I will install more fans.. All I said when he sent me the spec's was OK, joking around I sent him this list.. (Bad part is this is the 2nd one i built for him) the other one cost 21450 total.
Anyone wanna buy this from him??? LOL
The one thing I am trying to do is to have him knock down to a 320 gig ssd, but he said he wants it LARGE and in Charge.. So as soon a the parts start arriving I will put this badboy together and post pics.

ps I didn't figure out the total because I am scared ...

What...the...hell... :huh :bolt:

sounds like he just want s to heat his home more efficiently.. :D

HOLY @!#$&! BATMAN !!!!!!! :O

Isnt it risky to put amd cards on an intel build.

If you want to believe in urban legends, very.

hmm, bad choices...
Xeons with ECC memory is a must, so is dual high quality power supply (Rosewill it isn't). If you have to run large amount of monitors, than something like nvidia quadro plex is a better choice (or at least quadro 6000)
What kind of graphic artist is that friend of yours? S-IPS wide gamut panels would most likely be better choice. Which graphic pro works on TN displays anyway?
-

If it's not your money go for it. When I started doing my build, there were threads about mixing amd with nvidia and they didn't play well. If they were 50 dollar cards, I wouldnt say anything but not with platinum cards.

Another perfect example of the successful propaganda, Semp.
Just like AMD, the NVidia has nothing common with the Intel either. Anyways, if you start thinking a bit, the AMD is VERY much interested to make their video cards work with the CPU manufacturer's products that has 85% of the market...
lulz, stupidity
Also, the high end AMD cards are almost always tested with Intel CPUs... They work...
There is no need to explain why you have bought the GTX465 instead of the cheaper, faster, cooler HD-5850 :aok
But yea, the HD-7970 wont work in "SLI" with the HD-4000 :lol

Wow then not sure why there's a thread about ati beta drivers that my overpriced nvidia cards don't have. Btw I believe I paid about 350 bucks for both of my overpriced cards but it was worth it.

Not sure what you wanted to say with that, but let it be :aok

Nvidia != Intel

I'm echoing what Bighorn said. If I was building a workstation at that level, I'd go with Xeon's, ECC RAM, and a higher quality P/S.
Also, perhaps a RAID card.

ECC ram is slower so it makes no sense to use it for a workstation. For servers it's necessary to achieve higher stability. If your workstation crashes during your daily work there are bigger problems than lack of ECC.

100% on the money.
There is not a Rosewill power supply worth the trouble of installing.
The NVidia Quadro line of cards is better than the ATI Firepro line.
I cannot imagine a professional graphics artist using a TN display. There is not one of them on the market that can accurately reproduce color. An IPS panel is a must, if you want to have a chance of accurately displaying color.
For a graphics workstation, I would go with a Supermicro motherboard and Xeon processors. The Xeon CPU's have significantly better floating point performance than the desktop counterparts. It also means using ECC RAM.

I didn't see the TN panels. No way for graphics work. IPS panels, and do a little research on which type and how much you want to spend, if you're getting 6 of them.
On a personal note, I'll never go back to a TN panel after working on my IPS panels, and I'm using 6-bit e-IPS 2209WA's, not even high end like the one Skuzzy mentioned in his build thread a few months ago.

Oh, and I would not use those Hitachi hard drives either. Better to use 4) 2 TB Hard drives, than 2) 4TB hard drives.
I would recommend the enterprise level Seagate Constellation ES series drives.
-
lawn, I think you just got a bunch of expensive components thinking they might work better but without regards to the actual use they will have. Not sure how much actual graphics he will be doing as you dont mention it but if his other computer cost 21k then you may actually want get help from a pro.
