My monster tower, with the 18 monitors has some newer components in it, like the OS drive and some of the storage drives, but the physical guts of it are now 7 years old, and failing fast. My machine has physically shut off twice today alone, and it's happening more frequently as of late. As such, it's getting a complete overhaul on the inside. I'm keeping the CoolerMaster tower case, as you simply cannot purchase one as big as it is in today's market. It holds 8 internal hard drives currently.
New products purchased:
3 - AMD Radeon Pro W6800 Workstation-class video cards (18 ports total)
1 - Intel Core i9-13900KS - Core i9 13th Gen Raptor Lake 24-Core processor
1 - ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700 motherboard
4 - 32 GB DDR5 6000 memory chips (128 GB total) (sad MB didn't have 8 slots like the current one, otherwise I would have done 256 GB)
1 - Fresh copy of Windows 10 64-bit Pro
1 - Fresh copy of Windows 11 64-bit Pro (only to be installed on a VM. I'm not ready to upgrade to 11 yet without evaluation)
1 - ASUS ROG Strix LC II 360 ARGB Liquid CPU Cooler with 360mm radiator
1 - WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe M.2 2280 4TB SSD
Hopefully this investment will carry me another 7 years, which is an eternity in computer years. Ironically, the entire price of the order ($8,300) is what I would have paid JUST for the 3 video cards 1 year ago when they first came out. And I planned on buying them way back then, so to get all of the go fast parts for just the cost of the 3 cards was an added bonus.
These video cards are world-class workstation cards. Look 'em up.
Also, that M.2 SSD drive is insanely fast, with insane speeds up to 7,300 MB/s throughput.
My current SSD is more to the tune of 550 MB/s, which "was" insanely fast.
