how to burn money
almost £40k
what you get for your money, well quite a lot, but for the same in some places you'd also get a small house
oh and you need a large bedroom if your living at home, if you own your own house no worries it will fit in any spare room, which is good as when the GF / wife finds out how much you spent, you will be in there with it, or in the garden [:D][;)]

Well this is what I use for my gaming experience and I would thoroughly recommend it - frankly its cheap at half the price.
People ask me "hey warspite isn't it a bit over the top for playing Tetris?"... but you can't put a price on quality can you?

My wife's first question was "where is the built in toilet?", great question. Not worth it without the toilet.

with 4K and even now 5K setups out, it's about time wages kept up with the tech, as no way i could have afforded a half descent car, a small house, and any of these latest toys tbh

You could build that rig yourself for a fraction of that asking price. The CPU and the four graphic cards are a grand apiece, which is where most of the cost is.

As Mundy said, that system is greatly overpriced. The only benefit is that you would get the cables professionally bundled and the cooling system would be built and tested. And some of those parts are on backorder and hard to get.
But that system has about a 70% mark up. It is laughable that they could sell any of those to unsuspecting customers who didn't do the least bit of research.
Even without the VAT that is a 16,000 system. I would have to configure it and I am not going to spend the time, but that looks to be about $6500 worth of parts.
The hard part would be finding them since as I said, the GPUs and CPU are on backorder.
But thanks for the picture, that company is a joke though.

Some people have a lot of money and little time. So if they want something they might not spent so much time on trying to get it cheaper, rather they go for the easy, fast, version.

I would not ask that. It is important to have a system that fits the game that you play.
But now that I have seen how you play Tetris I do wonder how the system that you play MWIF on looks like.

Hey Warspite-isn't it a bit over the top for playing Tetris?
Seriously? I mean seriously? Have you ever played Tetris properly? I mean that game is radical dude. I wouldn't go near it without being appropriately suited and booted while sitting in the hotseat (see below).
My Extreme Overcocked PC above is fitted with a custom dual loop watercooling system - de riguer for the hardcore Tetris gamer. Fan cooling just doesn't cut it man.
But the real win with this rig is the Asus Rampage V Extreme X99 Motherboard with EK Full Cover Waterblock. I haven't got a scooby what the $%^& that all means but its gotta be worth £13k right?

I use it for Tic-Tac-Toe. You haven't really played it until you do it on three screens.
Watched a documentary on beavers. Best dam documentary I've ever seen.
