Good lord it’s actually for sale.
The glorious 1969 Mercury Cyclone NASCAR. 429 BOSS!
Seriously. It’s a reproduction, not an original but oh man, it’s beautifully done.
Is anyone out there in need of a Kidney? I need this car.

No, buy my kidney instead. I am currently in desperate need of dual GTX Titan Xs, 24GB of RAM, and a six-core Haswell.

I’m having trouble thinking of anything that would truly justify a rig that “bangin.”
Unless you want to play the Witcher 3 with Hair FX on and not drop below 60 FPS.

Really nice. Slightly sad thing is that it might be a replica but it was still original race car built by different guy. Why couldn’t they restore it to the original racing appearance?
Ford/Mercury did quite good job converting the body into slicker form. Charger’s ‘69 homologation model Charger 500 looks very silly compared to the original.

Isn’t that overkill for...everything?

lolnope. That may be high end for a normal PC, but not so much for a workstation. I didn’t even include any professional level video cards (though for good reason as blender doesn’t really support them)
You want overkill? Try Dual 12-core Xeons ($2k each), 256 GB of RAM (8 32GB modules, $2k total) A dual socket 2011 8 RAM slot server motherboard ($300-500) and a Quadro M6000 ($4k). Now THAT’S SOME MUAFUGGIN OVERKILL!

Two of the guys that I work with had to have “the fastest computers ever”. So I got them each an m4800 and managed to spend 8k! To be honest I had forgot that you can still spend that kind of money on a PC. They wanted them just so they can open an unlimited number of chrome tabs...first thing they ask “hey man, can you make the screen bigger” lol “yes no problem I spent $500 for the best available graphics card now let me come over and turn the settings all the way down so that you can see.”

You brought guys you work with 8k worth of hardware???
Where do you work? Any openings available?

I had no idea what Blender was but I see now. And here I thought gaming needed the heavy stuff.

Heh. Even the extreme $10k rig I quoted just now is nothing compared to the actual ‘ heavy stuff’...

Is that much power actually necessary though? Or is it the Zonda R of the computer world?

I work for a small search company. The PC’s were for partners who singed of that they would cover anything additional to my standard budget for new computers.
