Notice the foot stool under my desk because I am shorter than short, so my feet don't reach the ground when I am sitting comfortably in my chair.

I hadn't built a desktop in over 10 years, and only with my dad. In fact, I haven't owned a desktop in that long, been through several laptops, so getting a desktop is really nice. It was fun to get my hands on the hardware level since my only real focus in computer science has been writing software. Of course, it was a pretty straight forward process, and I'm very happy with the results. Linux installed in like half a second. I bought most of the parts locally and got a bulk homie discount, some of the prices were better than Newegg and Amazon. It was around 2 grand.

A lot of supercomputers don't even have a graphics card, but they do have 3 million cores. Also, it's not just a 780, it's a 780 Ti, keep it real Smedy son

Side note: I think that the word cray comes from the Cray Linux Environment, which is a supercomputer operating system.

Just ordered the parts for my supercomputer. I've been itching to pull the trigger for close to a year, can finally justify it after getting some fat checks for december commission and tax returns should offset my spending.
