Everyone is like "Oh my gosh awesome computer" , but we are forgetting the REAL MVP here, the shelf that is holding that beast of a PC. I applaud your hard work Shelf. Hang in there buddy.

even steve jobs approves of these windows beasts

"This is the render slave"

If this is a slave, then what is the master ._.

+1 Sick

awesome, bet this thing does work

Now you just need to cool both Xeons with Liquid Nitrogen and then lets see that puppy preform. "sinister laughing while plotting something insane, like OC at -125 degrees C".

Holy helll man, your definitely getting done what you need to in a zip.

Nice work.

If it's a slave to your main workstation, then why a expensive GPU?

speechless 0_0

I have to ask because no one else has yet...what's with Jobs up there?

I'm loving the transformer theme! It's a very noticeable transition from the single monitor you had before. I'm in love with the entire rig..... +1

I was GOING to say, how this is probably modeled off of Barnacules Nerdgasm's "William" machine, except his has dual 6 core processors..not dual 12 cores..holy..

Very nice build, and setup.

Did you get a hernia lifting that monster up onto that shelf?

You ever scared that these things will turn into big ole robots out of no where ??? Cause i am.

Jeez, what do you do for a living?

So I took a look at Marksman's first build and it is a $2,400 X79 build but he stole the GTX 780 reference card from it for this slave build. So my question to Marksman is what GPU do you now have in your main machine?

Do you publish any of your work?

I've yet to see an acrylic Cosmos 2 door mod with the exact oem honeycomb detail like yours has. Could you kindly share any info on how I could obtain such a fine piece of acrylic goodness for my Cosmos 2 build??

Great build! Your GTX 780 - was that the $1099.99 on Amazon?

How does one get USB 3.1 - for the external storage etc? (I like at least 10 USB ports <grin>

This is so ******* satisfying

How are you liking the mobo? I'm thinking of using the D16 version in my next build. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/angerthosenear/saved/pj4hP6

Still a work in progress (few things are just placeholders for now).

Very nice build. Is there anything you would think of changing now that you've build it?

+1 For totally not creating an overkill build worth more than $7500.....

Nah, but seriously...holy crap! Great build man!

TH IS YHJERYP[]

Hi Marksman, " I put 2 x 980s in my main rig" very nice. They look far more reliable that Titan-X IMHO.

What MOBO do you have in your main rig - the same or X99?

Joe77

Thanks for the info Marksman. Asus Rampage iv Extreme - Another great choice. It has decent Amazon ratings of 40/5 (40-five star to five-1star. If more than 10% one stars - then it is a problem to me).

Why the dual CPU route this time - only two ratings this far? The leading edge can become the BLeeding edge. If you could redo everything - would you go the Rampage route MOBO?

I'm attempting to once again to assemble another dream machine for Win 10 this time (no budget limit except to stay in touch with sanity of some kind). The primary goal is reliability and high speed along with 4K monitors - to be used mainly for video and photo editing. Gaming a distant 3rd. This is one reason that I like this build - no liquid cooling. New faster CPU's are to be released by Intel in June - using far less power and who knows what else. It is great that Intel CPU's have a very low failure rate. The Titan-X and Z GPU's besides speed have relatively few ratings bordering uncomfortable. Again I like your GTX 980 as a far more proven product. Thanks for posting. joe77

Congrats on making it onto the top ten most expensive builds on this site.

I'm sorry I just gotta ask... how did you get the emblem? Like the Decepticon.... I wanna know!

You paid $790 for a GTX 780!!!!!! ! ! ! ! !

Awesome, someone finally made a build with that motherboard and posted it here. Looks great.

So, got to ask as it's been bugging me: How's the clearance between the CPU heatsinks and those (MOFSET?) golden heatsinks? Any chance you have a picture of it and maybe a measurement of the clearance? Even just a "there was some good clearance when I assembled it"... Been looking for that info but ASUS doesn't mention it anywhere...

Who did the window because this case deserves a window in general

This is really Sick man lovin it! Also quick question I saw those decepticon and autobot plates on the front of your monsters do you know where I could find those or were they custom made. Currently in the process of building a PC concept car look and design to my next build and I thought that would be a nice touch to drive it home.

What kind of rendering do you do? As in commercial, personal, etc?

Damn **** Holy **** that's like everyone's dream

I want to ask about the transparent side panel. stuff it in a mod or buy? if you buy where to buy it? if the mod if I can buy the item?

Man... if only you'd waited for the 980 TI to come out. Dual up 2 of those bad boys and you're set for the next 10 years.

It deserves many more hundred votes. Sometimes I wonder what members think before they vote? Jealous?

u should had the two cpus wced u'r putting 240 watt of heat on the 2 cpu

Why not use GPU rendering instead? More effecient and much much faster.

I'd really like to know what kind of workload this machine is needed for...

can it play minesweeper @ 144p?

May I know wut u use to hold those 27 inch monitors?

why do you have a picture of Jobs above your windows PC

Has a picture of Steve jobs

Builds a PC.

That's it. Henceforth, I'm naming my builds after Transformers

Hey I am building a similar build but blue themed same CPU or should I say CPUs same ram motherboard how is rendering with those xeons ? Great build!!! Poor shelf tho :( anyways great build +1

Glad someone has money

Steve Jobs pic in the corner.... watching you.

I just started puking rainbows. Last time this happened it took an hours to stop. I guess your build is too boss for me.

w00t dual exeon finally someone made a dual cpu computer!!!!!!!!! amazing justs absoulutly amazing best ive seen so far!!!!!!!!!!
