Submission + - What Does A $16,000+ PC Look Like, Anyway? (justechn.com)
justechn writes: "Tom's Hardware has an article about custom PC maker Puget Systems had just finished a custom $16,000 PC for one of their clients. So what exactly goes into a $16,000? How about:
- Four quad-core Opteron processors
- 32 GB of memory
- Windows Server 2008
- Asus Xonar DX PCI Express sound card
- 3Ware 9550SX-8LP SATA 3 Gb/s RAID controller
- Two Western Digital 300 GB VelociRaptor hard drives in RAID 1
- Two 1 TB Samsung SpinPoint F1s also in RAID 1
- Four 1 TB Samsung SpinPoint F1s in RAID 5.
- Puget went with MagiCool's Xtreme Nova 1080 radiator
- Nine 120 mm fans
- Four Koolance CPU blocks
- Koolance combined pump and reservoir unit
- Cooler Master Stacker 810 case
In addition to all that hardware it also runs very quiet and very cool. The temperature of the CPUs is 36 C at idle, 45 C at load."

About a year and a half ago I did a review of the LaserShield system. It worked really well, I could not even get in my own home without setting it off.
