Nerd Alert - The Eagle has Landed

Something different...

I'm a few days away from completing a new custom-build system to replace my aging dual Xeon v3 setup.

These may be the first ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard pictures available anywhere in the world (other than PR images). Board came overnight from ASUS on first day availability.

Board is prepped - CPU installed, memory installed, waterblock installed, M.2 NVMe drives installed. GPU block has been installed to the 4090. Will soon shutdown my primary system for the last time and move everything into my existing case (similar to Lian-Li PC-75B but with updated aesthetics) that I customed modded more than a decade ago for high-end watercooling.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7975WX (32C/64T)
ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
V-Color 8x32GB (256GB) DDR5-7200 ECC RDIMM
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming OC

Creative Labs Sound Blaster AE-9
Seasonic Prime TX-1600 (ATX 3.0)
Custom Watercooled: EK-Quantum Magnitude sTRX4 (CPU), EK-Quantum Vector² Master RTX 4090 (GPU), (2x) Laing D5 Pumps, 3x120mm Rad, etc.

Medieval 2 Total War has a tone of replayability if anyone is looking for a “under 4g of ram” hidden gem.

A couple of us were wondering, what exactly do you need all those cores and massive ram dimms for?

Got an AE-9. Although I wish ASUS would re-introduce their Xonar line. I haven't preferred Creative Labs cards since the Sound Blaster AWE32/64 days but all the older, better cards no longer have good driver support for Windows 10/11.

Those slots are best suited for storage controllers supporting massive drive arrays and high-speed ethernet controllers (100Gbps), or additional workstation GPUs.

I'm giving away my age with the references to these older peripherals.

I always make the kids laugh their butts off when I tell them:

1. My first computer was a Digital (DEC).
2. I used to play with a Wang (VS).
