Object of lust
Voodoo PC makes custom Windows PCs designed for games, video editing and other high-performance tasks, and I just got a press release across my desk announcing their Voodoo OMEN d:221 system. These evil bastards have decided to trump the Power Mac G5 in terms of sheer video capabilities.
SLI, as some of you may remember, is a technology that 3dfx developed years ago that allows more than one graphics card to work in parallel in a single computer. 3dfx was later acquired by Nvidia. Now Nvidia has resurrected SLI, and thanks to PCI Express, it's actually useful on today's modern graphics processors.
The new Voodoo PC system features PCI Express expansion -- not yet available on the Mac -- and ships with Nvidia graphics cards. The two cards the system comes with feature two dual-link DVI video ports.
What this means is that it can drive four 30-inch Apple Cinema HD displays simultaneously.
That's just sick.

That's insane. I'd get such hand cramps just moving the mouse pointer around in that much space... heck, I saw a 30" Display in one of the Apple Stores, and it took 3 trips across the mouse pad to move the pointer diagonally across the screen..
