We're right there with them -- not from an investment standpoint, but from the perception of a fan, as we've played around with some awesome VR demos.

Maximum PC: AVADirect, the boutique system builder based in Ohio, is now offering Supermicro FatTwin 4U server solutions with up to Intel Octa-Xeon processing and dedicated GPU options.

According to AVADirect, the FatTwin is adept at a number of different tasks, including complex calculations, video rendering, 3D modeling, simulation, multi-virtual machine environments, hosting, and more.

I hate noisy PCs!
