I looked it up, it covers shit like factory defects and recalls, not actual wear and tear/power surges. Effectively it's useless IMO.

We repair wear and tear in shop, why would we send it back and wait 2-weeks when we can do it in our IT lab in 15 seconds?

Think dawg.

Sound doesn't matter bro, just think of how quick I can zone into City of Mist with 256 gigs of RAM

Kind of? I dunno, I'm just saying that $60 could make your whole world sound nicer.

Think about the 2/3 parts of the box that can't be 'repaired'. Burnt out power supplies, fried mobo, gfx, SSD, etc. Parts replacement is where it's at bro. Just sayin'.

Sound cards are overrated. Some on board chips are just as good or better.

37k tho, pretty steep. I am guessing they are charging about 10k in labor just putting it together.

Someone with 4gigs of 1333mhz ram and an ssd will zone just as fast but hey, what do i know... i spent $600 on my entire setup and have a faster computer on every game. Though im sure image processing programs uses more cores.

Think about the logistics... for 37k you can buy like 30 top end overpriced pre built computers.

I equate this to hood rats bragging about their new rims.

Not my money, not my problem.

I am lulzing at the amount of $$$ they spent for high-powered graphics design.

I think our entire imaging station is like $7k and that runs 50 CPU's at once.

Well pricing everything out so far, it is bringing me around 27k.

The biggest hitters are the video cards, cpu, monitors, and ram. Unless the website is showing the wrong parts for the SSds, they are only 180 since they are hybrid.

The main thing I question is the ram. Everything I am reading for that work system mb shows a max 64 gigs. I could be reading wrong, and a good chance, but I don't see anything saying otherwise.

Hey if it's for work and doing cool shit, have at it. Pretty good write off for business expense.

I would say I wouldn't turn it down if my work offered me one. A+ for you

I can't take it home, I can use it like 8 hours a day M-F tho.
