I am having my new computer delivered (sorry, not a Mac)

[MaDalton]

I hope this Elliott is as good as they say...

[Vendzilla]

I just got a new Lenova Yoga. Its different!

[MaDalton]

also scored a great deal on an IBM 5 mb hard drive



anyone has any ideas about the cooling? I think my AC is a little undersized...

[freecartoonporn]

you should see my keyboard.

Cool picture

[Validus]

My next laptop will be a Windows machine again. The Mac is good, but Microsoft Excel isn't as good on the Mac and Outlook on the Mac is really bad (can't resize pictures when composing emails).

And then there are all these other things that just don't quite work on the Mac the way I need them to... And I don't want to run parallels.

[arock10]

I like how some people are taking this thread seriously

[SilentKnight]

I like how they spell out "ELECTRONIC COMPUTER" on the crate.

A la..."BAT COMPUTER"..."BAT MOBILE".

Make no mistake, yep...that's an electronic computer boyz 'n girlz.

[MarioFioso]

I love these old school puters

Why you're not using BootCamp?

I'm thinking to get my first Mac because most of the Windows ultrabooks looks bad. I'm still looking but .. for now I'm considering to get Macbook Air or Pro 13", but not sure which lol

China's supercomputer is currently the world's fastest: it can run at a sustained 2.5 petaflops (a petaflop is a thousand trillion floating point operations per second) thanks to its 186,368 cores and 229,376GB of RAM.



Jaguar's 224,162 cores come courtesy of a whole bunch of six-core Opteron chips, and its performance is a hefty 1.76 petaflops. Oak Ridge says it's the world's fastest supercomputer for unclassified research.



The first petaflop-scale supercomputer to be designed and built in Europe is pretty fast: "its capacity to transfer information is equivalent to a million people watching high-definition films simultaneously", the press release says.

Built around Intel Xeon 7500 processors, the successor to 2005's Tera 10 is 20 times faster and seven times more energy efficient as its predecessor. It's another nuclear one: Tera-100's mission is to help guarantee the reliability of Europe's nukes.




Can your computing project be handled by a machine with 511 cores? Then don't bother coming to Kraken: it's best suited to jobs that use "at least 512 cores". It's got plenty to spare: the National Institute for Computational Sciences reports that the Cray supercomputer has 112,895 compute cores spread across 9,408 nodes.

Its purpose? To help "solve the world's greatest scientific challenges, such as understanding the fundamentals of matter and unlocking the secrets to the origin of our universe".




Germany's supercomputer was designed for low power consumption as well as high performance, and it's been involved in some interesting projects - including trying to work out how DVDs work. According to Scientific Computing, it's improving our understanding of "the processes involved in writing and erasing a DVD", which should lead to storage media that works better, lasts longer and provides higher capacity.

The Gaming PC That Costs $13,000







What if money was of little consequence and you wanted a PC for some ultimate high-resolution gaming? Some PC manufacturers are, it seems, willing to go all-out and create the most amazing PC?s ever, complete with enough power to play all the latest 3D games on the new 4K resolution monitors.

PCs are already ahead of even the new Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4 when it comes to super-high resolution gaming. The latest PC monitors offer 4K resolution and combined with a sufficiently powerful PC, you can play games at 4K too with no upscaling and sheer jaw-dropping visuals.

The cost of a PC that can do this is likely to be at least $3,000 ? $4,000, especially as no current single graphics card can manage decent-enough frame rates at 4K in the latest demanding 3D games such as Battlefield 4 or Crysis 3 with all the eye-candy turned on. This price will come down though, as with all new technology, but if you want that kind of power now there are plenty of options out there.
Yoyotech's Aurum 24K sports a spectacular interior as is water-cooled, not air-cooled.

UK-based PC retailer Yoyotech has not only picked and tweaked some of the fastest, most expensive hardware money can buy in the battle to build a 4K gaming PC, but it has also kitted its $13,000 PC out with some of the latest water-cooling gear, with the result that its insides look absolutely incredible.

The Aurum 24K isn?t just a fast PC. Many man-hours have been invested to add lots of customization to make the PC unique.

Called the XDNA Aurum 24K, the PC actually retails for £7979 in the UK, and if you paid attention in school you?ll know that 79 is the atomic number for gold, while Aurum is latin for gold. Chemistry and latin facts aside, the PC sports an incredible specification that is likely to be blisteringly fast not just in games but at anything you can throw at it too.

Yoyotech has chosen Intel Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition processor, which it has tweaked to run faster than it does out of the box, boosting its frequency to 4.6GHz. The CPU also has six cores and thanks to an Intel feature called Hyper-Threading, the total core count stands at 12, which is 50% more than the Xbox One?s processor.
Yoyotech has water-cooled the PC so it runs at near-silent levels and cooler than any air-cooled PC

If you know your PC hardware, you?ll know that graphics cards were the most drool-worthy of 2013, and Yoyotech has included not one but two of them. As if this wasn?t enough, both graphics cards and the processor are water-cooled too, doing away with noisy fans and heatsinks and instead creating a blissfully quiet PC that also runs incredibly cool despite its monstrous specification.

It also has a gargantuan 64GB of Corsair memory, a 512GB solid state disk and 2TB hard disk, all housed in a Corsair Obsidian 900D tower case, which has been modified to hide cables and give the inside a super-clean look.

The PC managed a minimum frame rate of 31fps in Crysis 3 at 4K using the game?s ultra graphics settings, and a minimum of 26fps in Battlefield 4. So if you use three screens, which usually offer a lower resolution than a 4K monitor, the Aurum 24K is likely to provide massive frame rates.

Of course, this PC demands such a high price that most of us can only dream about owning it. However, it does give a glimpse about what mist be in store in the future for PC?s.

None of this garbage compares with my leet gaming rig that I pwn noobs with

[romeo22]

its big as my Mac lolll

[sandman!]

[izombie]

Many years ago I worked as an operator on the then world's fastest supercomputer, it gained those speeds by cooling the CPU's with liquid nitrogen. Outside there was a pipe that dumped the used nitrogen and it left a pile of ice and snow, so on breaks we would go out there and have snowball fights even though it was the middle of summer in Florida.

Just got a voice synthesizer for mine

No need to specify "not a mac", because if it was mac you would say "mac" instead of "computer"
