heh, before I get any more semi-serious, but not really, advice, the intent of the question was to show what was being developed (all 80 Billion Pixels worth), and how much it costs.

$18,000? Sure, nVidia, that sounds reasonable...

Just let me break open my 300-story-tall piggy bank.

Well it's meant dor developers, CAD and stuff. It's no big deal for some large company to buy that.

There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

18,000 is nothing for a corporation. That's the target audience. If that has quad Quadros in it, then it probably would have bad gaming performance. They are workstation cards designed for applications not gaming. They aren't optimized for gaming they are optimized for application usage. I bet that would be sweet to work on the afterburn effects in eh Aircraftkiller? The thing I can see though that really... makes this say, going in the wrong direction. When it comes down to rendering, 4 video cards wouldn't do anything. The Processor is doing the calculations to render the scene not the video cards. Actually working on the scene would be super fast and then rendering would be like you had a GF2.

Is that thing street-legal? http://www.renegadeforums.com/images/message_icons/icon10.gif

Wow, imagine that thing in a snow-ball fight.

It reminds me a bit of the first Tiberian Sun trailer. You, know, where they made you think it was gonna be a first-person mech game?

That much is obvious (at least I hope it was). I posted it more for the impression factor than the gaming factor.
