DREAM MACHINE 2016

- –MAXIMUM PC STAFF

With no expense spared, we’ve pieced together the ultimate system for you to drool over.

WHERE DO YOU START with the Dream Machine? It’s a concept. A way of pushing limits. And, for as long as we remember, money hasn’t been an issue when building a Dream Machine. Its legacy has, for the most part, been untarnishe­d by cries of “It costs too much!” That said, this has been a traumatic year in the deepest, darkest circles of technology. And with Nvidia still unchalleng­ed in the world of graphical dominance, the Titan’s reign as the fastest GPU comes with an unfeasible price tag. We couldn’t bring ourselves to be so bold as to invest in two Titans, when we could pick up four GTX 1080s for about the same price—not that Nvidia enables SLI beyond two….

So, is it still a Dream Machine? You tell us. There’s over 40TB of hard drive storage, 128GB of RAM clocked at 2,666MT/s, 10 cores, 20 threads running at a blistering 4.2GHz, and two heavily overclocke­d GTX 1080s running at a phenomenal 2,126MHz. All of which is kept chilled via two handcrafte­d water-cooling loops. And we can’t forget the trophy cabinet privileged with housing this magnificen­t list of hardware: In Win’s 909. Comprised entirely of brushed aluminum, this beautifull­y sleek and versatile case is a true sight to behold.

Is this a PC for the gamer? No—it’s a PC for the profession­al, a PC with limitless potential, a PC that can attempt whatever task you set it, and succeed with ease.
