    Without 192 GB of RAM, you might as well be listening to a victrola.

      But you'd save $1,224.00 instantly. That is too good a deal to pass up.

        You've probably stolen $40,000 worth of music already, so quit whining.

            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                    I'm confident that the value of the music I have stolen will approach zero as time goes on.

                      Basically a machine like that is built to be your own private computer cluster. As it is, 40k might be a good deal (as long as your software will often be able to take advantage of the GPU).

                          Unfortunately, that means you do not get my troll. Move along.
