Description

Starting at $7,669 — yep, starting — the double-wide, liquid-cooled system comes with up to two six-core Intel Xeon X5680 processors, two 1,000 watt power supplies and up to four graphics cards. A maxed-out configuration will run you more than $17,000

The Big O does contain an Xbox 360 and, as Andrew Nusca writes, the monster PC is "the equivalent of a 2011 Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle with a few thousand left over for leather and gear."
