Twin PC help

[LeMansAid]

I'm getting two apparently identical computers and I'm wondering what my options are to make the most of them.

I only need one system.

Details I know:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) Is-3570
CPU @ 3.40 Ghz
RAM: 16.0 GB
Power supply: Corsair GS 700
Graphics card: Gigabyte Geforce Gtx 670
Mother board: Gigabyte H77-D3H-MVP

Bracket all of that, and whatever else they would logically have, and times by two. What and how can I smash them together? I assume I can at least double up the graphics cards.

That's about it really. I doubt you'd have enough RAM slots and 32GB is a bit overkill really!

 

[Sharky.]

Sell one. The only thing you can viably do is SLI 670; as Dunc says, 32GB of RAM is *massive* overkill for anything short of 3D modelling/rendering and if the machines are 4x4GB as opposed to 2x8GB there's nothing you could do with the RAM anyway, seeing as *77 boards only have four DIMM slots

 

[LeMansAid]

Yeah, I thought that marrying the cards or selling would be my only options. You guys have quickly confirmed that.

Sharky, do you have a ballpark idea of what the system might be worth right now? I'm in Oz, so I assume it'd be similar to NZ.

Thanks guys.

It would be worth quite a bit, I run a 3570K on Z77 with two 670s and would be quite surprised if I wouldn't be able to sell for at least NZ$1300.

Certainly a very nice dilemma to have!

Thanks Sharky, I think I'll sell one.

That's not the half of it..... https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/uh-oh.306629/#post-9544108

Both computers come as part of that package. This embarrassment of riches is of course in inverse proportion to my wallet's status.

Dumb question incoming.

If the rig comes with 2 PCs, doesn't that mean the rig needs 2 PCs?

 

[LeMansAid]

Never fear, I'm quite sure I'm more dumberer than you.

No, it's designed for commercial use. The second computer is a backup.

Mine won't be for commercial use. Unless it turns out that I'm a complete arse, and charge my friends to use it. So yeah, on reflection, maybe mine is for commercial use after all.
