Software utilities

I was looking around searching for a new desktop, and found this monster from Alienware website! Its main features are:

• 45 nm Intel™ Quad-Core™, Penryn™ core, overclocked from 3 GHz to 4 GHz and liquid cooled
• 2 Gb dual channel 1333 MHz DDR3 SDRAM
• 3 possibilities for the video side:
• • Dual ATI® Radeon™ HD 3870 with Crossfire™
  • ATI® Radeon™ HD 3870 X2
  • Dual ATI® Radeon™ HD 3870 X2 in CrossFireX™
• from 1 to 4 HD, up to 1 TB each
• up to 128 MB solid state disk
• optional Blu-Ray reader or writer
• optional multi card reader

The price is a bit high, but I think you can wait for quantum computers before replacing this!

Yesterday I was searching for a way to build a tube amplifier (something like this iPod deck with tube amplifier) and found also this cool motherboard with a great audio section. Look, it’s made with a giant vacuum tube!! Seems it wasn’t a great success, since I’ve never heard of another motherboard like this… Look at the photos for a better view.
