Lets see. AMD, Intel, Cray, SGI, IBM, Sun, HP, Compaq. made it themselves, Amari to simply Computers. Most of the 1000 richest (well prolly 50 richest) will either know **** all, or know the engineers at Intel and amd or others to create them a superfast system. i'm sure a lot of ppl will disagree. e.g. Cray, SGI, Amari. This could be done on my XP1700. The Internet fridge or security internet front door box don't use dual processors, and prolly only use 66mhz risc ones. to Utilize these dual xeons the programs will have to be coded so they use the duals and the xeon architecture. people who buy fast cars buy them cause they are cool. but not all these people who buy them are billionaires. and alot of the time people will go over the speed limit. this isn't true for a PC, as i really doubt robson walton is really paranoid about low speed PC's. The site is my own personal preference, but i don't like cheapy sites that are supposed to be pro. if you are building this sytem then it may be worth your time to invest in a nicer site. especially a site that didn't just review a gamepad and say: I still fail to see a real world application for this PC unless you aimed it at smaller graphics companies and small musical firms.
16 Kw into 0.5 §Ù 8 Kw into 1 §Ù 4 Kw into 2 §Ù 2 Kw into 4 §Ù 1 Kw into 8 §Ù mate i can get 32Kw into 16§Ù speaker and for less as what they cost so dont tell me you did research i am a audio buff i worked at a club called metro for 1 and a half years the best club in australia i also build high perromance speakers now and our company is working a new amp for our new speaker range the .1 sub for a home entainment system 128Kw into 32§Ù 18" subwoofer so please dont bull sh!t me
Hi, FIrst of all, I don't see where you got that quote from one of our reviews, here's the link to the review http://www.xtremeinc.co.uk/html/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=3 I can't see that line anywhere, are you sure you weren't reading the IBM Deskstar review? And that site (www.xtremeinc.co.uk) is the review site, nothing to do with the XPC! It is only temporarily hosting its specs until its own site is finished. As for your comments about running the security system etc from this PC and it still not being utilised. Well, in that case, why don't Intel and AMD shut down because the processors now can cope brilliantly with the tasks given them today. I'm sure you don't need me to answer that question! Theres constantly an array of more complex and processor-dependent software hitting the shelves, you can never have enough power. And by letting the XPC run the security system etc it means that we don't have to build seperate RISC systems. Everything is powered by the XPC. Yes, I'm quite sure that the people who work for Intel have their engineers build a great system for them, but do they offer it to the rest of the public? And does that system have anywhere near the amount of style that the XPC possesses? I doubt it. Cray build supercomputers! Which use vektor pocessors, that can't run on a Win32 system. And who'd want a Cray SVX taking up half their home?! And Cray are one of our backers, so they obviously think that theres room for this computer in the market. And so too are IBM and NEC. Your right about the XPC being perfect for the music industry and the graphics industry, they'll be able to buy it too! This system will be purposely built around its enviroment. Whether that be in a recording studio or an operating theatre! Corvette, I'm not the one to talk too about the sound system, James will have to answer that!
Few things... 1. You have more experience that I do, I have read what is available and tried my best to work out the speaker packages for this system. Technically I'm a computing buff and this is outside my field of expertise... However I've lined up components from such people as Linn JBL Denon Krell Lexicon Meridian NAD etc... however I still personally reckon it should be handed over to professionals, like www.grahams.co.uk ... but L and his superiors don't think this is a good idea! 2. I'm not sure about some of Ls ideas, running it constantly at 85% would leave very little left for normal everyday running of the system. Personally I feel that we should give them powerful apps through a centralised simple interface. For example I would like to have face recognition software in the system so when someone comes round you know who it is, or if you are away you know who visited. 3. This is a viable project.
you want loud heavey bass good performance speakers try cerwinvega speakers on a bose or other german amp i am to tell u those germans no there sound
corvette could you email me at jamesadstormont@yahoo.co.uk , I could use a hand with the audio if you wouldn't mind!
ok look the speakers u have are good just a bit steep in the price just remember this dont always go most exspensive coz they are not always the best b4 u buy have a sopund test put it as loud as u can go with out blowing them or the amp up also beware of cheap .1 speakers as the really get distorted easily get a really high quallity center speaker as most of the sound will come from it left and right speaker must have a high treble and bass response they must sound even not to high not to low rear speakers must be clear loud a little more treble then bass keep in mind that some you will find a cheaper speaker is some times better then a more exspensive speaker ie: amd intel make sure the cases are deep and heavey NO PLASTIC made fully out of wood plastic tendes to effect bass and speker resonse wattage isnt every thing some times u will find a 200 is more bassy then a 500 ie alpine / sony if they sound good get them if they handle bass well get them if they dont distort easy get em keep all this in mind and you will make a good choice if you need any more help give me a buzz hogan33456@hotmail.com / cerwinvega@optushome.com.au
MY DREAM! It's come true! Muhahahahahahaaaa.......oh, but i can't afford it. Oh well a single P4 2.2ghz will have to do for now. hehe........ oh, here's a question. Why have dual when you can have QUAD? Aod:dude:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I simply cannot see the point in sinking that much cash into something like this. I mean what would you use it for?
And there are other options available that have more power, that would be cheaper. And last a lot longer.
Two options... 1. High spec pc, < £10K . Smaller, cheaper, more subtle 2. Custom computer with pc components, < £50k . Extreme power, exclusive, but risky Personally I would have a pc from Falcon NW with an Exotix painted case if I had that kind of money.
Of course, the XPC is fully customisable. You can have whatever components you wish. As for it being "run of the mill" in two years, your on the whole part right, however, we do offer an XPC upgrade option to keep it up-to-date for as long as you like. We don't charge any for any installations, you just pay for the hardware, and one of our engineers fit it for free. Every PC manufacturer faces the same problem, they'll be obsolete within 18months. Though they don't address the issue like we do. As for Falcon Northwest, its just a good computer with a good paint job. The components are just stock ordinary. As for having quad processors, it would need total software redevelopment to utilise the four processors. James, check your e-mail, and get back to me ASAP. By the way, the system has been totally redesigned, and much better than the quoted spec. I'll be posting a link once the new site is finished.
this is still a pointless project. You have still shown no real reasoning behind it. it being able to open and close doors or watch your house is rather pointless and a complete loss of the systems power. not many companies would pay for what you are offering let alone individuals.
I would disagree; human nature is to be the best. It’s all about one-upmanship. Those with old money probably wouldn’t purchase this kind of item, but the neuvo-rich would. I think there is a market for this kind of item, maybe not a large market, but I believe they understand this. I personally know a number of millionaires (wish they’d send their money this way) and all of them do make frivolous purchases.
But only those with a lack of knowledge on the subject would really make a purchase like this, IMO. Cos at the end of the day I dont care if Jonny rich boy spent 10 grand and got a shiznit machine, when i know full well he's got more money than sense. Justified in my opinion by the fact that I could start my own personal cluster for half that cost. Quite honestly, you may as well go down to PCWerld and ask for the most expensive machine they have. I mean, why pay through the nose for a BMW, when they're selling TVRs down the road? (metaphoricly speaking)
Part of what I'm saying is 'Why have two, when you can have four? And why have four when you can have eight?'
LOL! I don't see what's so hard to grasp about this people. Wealthy individuals always spend way too much money on things that are way to big for them to EVER use fully. This is just like anyone building a huge house. Like Bill Gates is ever going to use his 12 boat houses or 8 gate houses...or even his 2 excersise rooms or the 66,000 square feet this palace is built on. It's more the fact to say look at this pretty, shiney new...errr...thing I bought, I can't wait to find out what it does!!! As long as people make cars, boats, or computers that are nice and pretty people will buy them. It's the simple consept of human nature to one-up every person around you.
