Same here. I suppose this particular market is small, and perhaps difficult to reach in terms of PR. But, at least for me, no case out there comes close to Cerberus in terms of emphasizing the right things (compactness, portability, quality of materials, solid engineering, utility, cooling, no...

As VegetableStu points out, it's the CPU and RAM that really drive up the cost of such a build :-) BTW, I find the size of the Purley CPU's very appealing from a thermal point of view - one of them has 18 cores at 3.0 - 3.7 GHz! The much smaller 12-core Skylake-X processor (i9 7920x) has a...

Have you seen this? It's an mATX Purley board by Supermicro. It's capable of hosting the new Xeon Gold and Platinum CPU's, some of which are very impressive, as well as 700+ GB of six-channel RAM. If it were anywhere close to affordable, that's the system I would build, in a Cerberus. Hell, I...

Do you guys recognize that feeling where you spend all your waking hours reading about part specs, then you think you have your perfect build figured out, but then you read something that just takes the wind out of your sails? Thanks for the info 3lfk1ng. I definitely wasn't expecting a 240 mm...

I'm looking for a nice balance between single- and multithreaded performance; I want to be able to do high end gaming on this thing, but I also want a high (double precision) total throughput for stuff like custom ray tracers. I had been looking at the 10-core model which seems like a nice...

Are you looking for an LGA 3647 board specifically, or are you interested in the next generation Xeon chips in general? Some websites claim the upcoming Xeons are all based on LGA 3647, but I think that's wrong - many of the Gold series chips seem to be based on LGA 2066 (there are conflicting...

Awesome, thanks. If you get a chance to ask them about this, I'd be very happy to hear their response!

My thanks as well for this terrific in-depth look at this awesome board! Do you think there's any chance ASRock (or anyone else) will release an ITX board that supports the upcoming Xeons? From what I understand, it would have to be based on the C422 chipset - and ASRock has released two LGA...
