Give thumb up

If one were to take all existing technologies with the aim of building the ultimate Beast these would be the items now available. The price would be inestimable and will not obviously be for sale, but its' still fun to lok at the specs and what would be required to run such a beast. These components were all manufactured by the way, and are not just on someone's design board.
1/ Intel's 80 Core CPU
2/ NVIDIA's Quadro FX 5600, each running at 384bit, 1.5 GB DDR3 Memory, and a bandwidth of 76 GB/sec. Imagine that in SLI mode
3/ 22.2 surround sound using Bluetooth 3.0 with upwards of 15 speakers
4/ Monitor - 3 metres in circumference with a resolution of 3840 x 2400
5/ Optimus Keyboard, completly programmable with screens on each key
6/ Nanocool's Liquid Metal Cooler (or one made by Sapphire Labs)
7/ 128 GB DDR4 Ram

Summing up the rig would be 80-core Intel 3Ghz, dual Quadro FX 5600, huge monitor, 24 speakers, 2.5 terabytes of ram and 128 GB DDR4 Ram.

Yes indeed Intel made at least one...and it works. All the components listed have been made, tho not for public sale. The Summary is what the rig would be like if all put togther. All ready for "Crysis 2", "Half Life 3" and "Dawn of War 3" (maybe even DoW2). Need a pretty big bedroom though.
