Description This is what I wish I had the money to build... My dream machine. ...the CPU complex of the future.

I could explain all the boring details, but I won't go there... This is basically what you call a Mac on crack.

Image rendered in Blender on an xserve G5 2.33 GHz Dual CPU.

Would you mind if I used this image for a webseries I'm working on? It takes place in space and this image is absolutely perfect for the bridge, given some editing. I would credit you, of course, but I don't like taking images without asking first.

I apologize that it took me so long to respond... I haven't checked my DeviantArt in a while. You have my permission to use it so long as you give credit. A link somewhere would be preferable. Thanks for asking!

Damn i wish I had a comp that complex. Now, here is what I want you to do, now that you have created this kickass computer, create a laptop with the same crazyness
Thats my request btw

With current technological advances, that's virtually impossible in reality. The computer power behind this would be immense.. Banks and banks of servers... We're talking terrahertz, here.

In a laptop, you couldn't pack in enough CPU cores. They currently build them out of copper, and they have had difficulty increasing the clockspeed over 4 GHz...

...and if you could put that much in a laptop, it'd burn a hole through your balls.

But I already have a powerful laptop... It's sitting right in front of me as I type...

Lol. Yeah I wish I had one sometimes. But unfortunatly I am just an average joe without much money, even though I have a job. But, its all cool I enjoy this thing.

I think you'd probably need a computer like this to keep up with your requirements. I also hope you're not 70 when you get to build it, I feel the same way about most fast and expensive cars - by the time you're old enough to buy it, you're too old to drive it.

Oh, I know... That's why I wanna be rich when I'm young enough to enjoy it. Why have money if you don't spend it?

Yep! No use in working your ass off all your early life just to buy a cool wheelchair!

Yeah, I know, right? ...though I'm hoping if I'm ever gonna build it, it won't be when I'm 70 years old... xD
