$10,000 computer?

dmdar · Apr 21, 2026

Hi,

I was just checking on the Digital Storm website and I found this, apparently they are selling a $10,000 computer. This thing is a beast, I have never seen a computer this expensive before! I am not sure why it costs this much, the specs aren't really anything special. If you want to have a look link is here:

Quantum? Federal Reserve money making? Bitcoin originals?

Interesting!

For the record:

The original Apple Lisa computer (also known as the Lisa 1), released on January 19, 1983, had a base launch price of $9,995.

This price included a 5 MB hard drive and was positioned as a high-end business machine with pioneering features like a graphical user interface (GUI) and mouse support—making it one of the first such systems aimed at personal/business users.

Hey on a whim I just got on the Digital Storm website and I upgraded all the hardware on the $10,000 computer as high as they could go, a 96-core 5.4 GHz AMD Threadripper CPU, 768 GB of RAM, and dual GeForce RTX 5090 32GB graphics cards. The total came out to nearly $70,000! This is a $70,000 computer! This is more expensive than a small house! This is insane! I am of the opinion that it would be morally wrong to buy something like this but it is nice to look at.

Yeah but it's windows so not worth it

I checked CDW's website, and there are name-brand high-end workstations by HP and Lenovo that are even more than that.

The AMD Threadripper, 128 GB of RAM, and the high-end NVidia graphics card are probably a big chunk of the Digital Storm's cost, but it also has some bells and whistles like the RGB running lights that are somewhat frivolous.

look for a cheaper one because you can find same specs and a cheaper because that's murder who can afford that :O.

That is so expensive. Who, in their right mind, will buy it?

High-end workstations like that are used for things like 8K video rendering, finite-element modeling, computer-aided design, and recently for local Artificial Intelligence. The target market is typically business and academia.

So why the RGB running lights? Is this really just a luxury gaming machine for overgrown kids with more money than sense?

Those who can afford it.

More serious, depends what you are doing, AI programming is power hungry.
