<p>Just for fun! Pretty crazy just think about the games you could run on them.</p>

<p>Lol I’ll take the 2nd one please…</p>

<p>I was going to post something about them not costing that much, but then I reread the post, and noticed the total.
I like Maingears</p>

<p>Price-wise, I don’t think you can beat this

<p>99,999 dollars holy cow!</p>

<p>

No, at this point, it’s about HOW MANY insane games you can run on them, all at the highest settings.</p>

6

<p>Think of it… three instances of Crysis at max…</p>

7

<p>3 versions of the same game…lol </p>

<p>think about it with a monitor like this </p>

<p>I’ve run nethack on the console of the Cray Y-MP we had at work :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :-)</p>

<p>Depending on how mobile GPUs scale the sli 580Ms could hit over 30fps on metro2033 ultra-settings. Its just a very taxing game.</p>

<p>Anyways, the new Vaio Z. Largely because its concept is amazing (external gpu/media dock via light peak I/O). It definitely puts apple to shame in the aspect of utilizing new technology.</p>
