Surprised not to see this over here:

It took us several months to get hold of the parts and peripherals, and after assembling everything we needed -- with a sum total of Rs. 16.5 lakh -- behold India's fastest PC built in all its glory. Here’s our Ultimate PC out in the open!

Strange though. No benchmarks, only pictures. no RAID SSD setups, or using one of those PCIe SSD cards...tch tch tch. Getting a 4K panel rather than 1440p would have made sense, but 16.5lakh thing? Or is this some SEO thingy! :p

Well, with no off-topic thread, poor little me is left with no choice!!! :p

On-topic though, at that price I expected Xeon, 64 gigs of RAM, 4K display at least...

No mention about the speakers??? :-/

Will try that next time!!! :p
Blue dart is about 5 kms away from my home too and they don't deliver in my area...
I had ordered a laptop once and had to go to their office to pick it up... Lol!!!
That thing could come all the way from freaking America to teeny weeny Guwahati on the other side of the world but can't come from that office to my home!!!
Incredible...

780Ti quad SLI is overkill for 4k. They should have used 3x4K for surround gaming.

Xeon would technically fall under "server"-class so I guess thats why they decided to go with i7. Also the title says "fastest" PC not most expensive pc, so I don't suppose the choice of display matters.
IMO this is a neat job. (Some benchmarks would have been nice though)

if they can go quad sli of 780 ti, we would atleast expect a single 4k display. i expected three 4k displays lol :lol:

Ah but see, at Digit you CAN game at work ;-)

Yeah PC, not computing machine, or else we'd end up trying to build a supercomputer with multiple Xeons and god knows what else and have to run boring Linux benchmarks no one has heard of...

They're overclocking right now to try and get even higher scores, plus Computex had us all busy :)
