8. Custom 64-Core Liquid Cooled Workstation Computer PC
Brand: Adamant
Processor: CPU AMD Threadripper 3990X 2.9G Hz
Storage: 2 TB

Up next is another custom PC. This time is a setup by Adamant, a liquid-cooled system with a powerhouse CPU AMD Threadripper 3990X. The powerful PC features 2 TB of SSD and 256 GBs of RAM.
In the end, this PC costs an eye-popping $13,199.99.
Liquid-cooled PCs typically rely on water to keep things from getting too hot. The water cycles through the PC and shifts heat away from components prone to overheating — a lot like a radiator. Other PCs rely on air to stay cool. Experts say there are some key differences between the two options, but one of the most obvious is the visual design. Liquid-cooled PCs are usually “flashier.”

The 8Pack OrionX PC is currently one of the most expensive PCs on the market. This rig is massive. It has probably the most complex, effective, and expensive water-cooling setup of any PC we’ve ever seen.
It has two separate rigs, fully customizable, in the Phanteks Elite Full Tower PC setup, which has an insane i-97980 XE processor that can be overclocked to 4.6GHz, minimum.
The reservoirs for the 8Pack water system are integrated with the chassis, showing off a crazy array of LED lighting. The cables are sleeved and display the colored coolant for maximum bragging rights. It makes your PC look like it’s being supercharged like a Batman villain.
Up to 128GB of DDR4-RAM and a 14 TB Seagate hard disk drive give the 8Pack OrionX PC the top spot on this list, “clocking” in at $43,000 with all the customizable options installed.

You could call this system overkill, and it’s definitely powerful enough for some intense work beyond the world of gaming, but passionate (and rich) players would have a great time with this PC.
Beyond that powerful processor, this PC offers plenty of memory (256 GB to be exact) and a stripped-back, simple design. It may not be flashy, but the Edge DL makes up for it with a more-than-capable configuration of processing power and memory.
