    so a decent build machine with a i9900K(8core) and 6GB ddr6 gpu - 32gb ram (PC4 25600) probably 1tb 970 probably set you back around 2K.

    The available ram possible seems a bit of a joke to me. great on paper but how many slots you need for 32-64 Gb ram modules to max out? Very curious about pci lanes and architecture of the board. I have never needed xeons, not using software needing them, but curious about xeon architecture now because at face value i think those pci slots are likely wasted.

    Absolutely surprised too if they go back to tower form they didnt try to coin some sort of liquid cooling system or even use one. I really wonder about heat issues on any max specc'd systems using more inline to todays specs and not aspirational 1.5TB of ram stuff.

    • Are you complaining BEFORE buying one and using it to its full potential, or...? why care otherwise?!
      ********
    • to max the RAM you'd need the 24 or the 28 core plus filling the 12 slots with 128GB DIMMsernexbcn
    • you didn't even account for the real use cases nor the special video processing hardware you CANNOT get anywhere else, at allmonospaced
    • so there is 12 slots for ram? and a 128gb on new egg is about 13K... haha well leave it to those that its economically feasible

    • any info on the pci slots and how many lines are available to the processors including m.2 sata and what not?

    • im not complaining as much as trying to sort out the layered consumerist apple machine. why would i have anything to complain about knowing? I know base specs i

    • can do far cheaper for MY graphic work. i know ill never need xeons and i can always choose a x299 if i need more cores at a lesser price

    • i just hate how apple sells to obsufucates what they sell. I think the real pros know hardware, and the fakes are priced out at this point
      ********
    • can they sell enough base models after trash can to idiots is the question. Im leaning towards no. especially since visual look was a big seller
      ********
    • and this i think will be hard to resonate with.
