    As a hobbyist currency trader I want to make one thing clear. When it comes to currencies, CryptoCurrencies or any currencies, they all fluctuate. A sudden 40% drop means nothing. No currency keeps growing forever, and I am a bit surprised BitCoin is as high as it is. Bitcoin is almost back at it's latest top again. We also have to remember that there are tens of active cryptocurrencies and BitCoin is the first and just one of them. :)

    Mining can be a good thing if you know what you are doing, but there are much better ways to make money and more money faster, that does not consume so much energy and take it's toll on nature. Mining is for those who are not ready to make efforts and earn the money they deserve from hard work. Kind of like "free"-money, though "something for nothing" does not exist. Someone or something always pay a price.

    If not interested in physical ways of earning money, a much better way would be to do trading, though it has it's risks, while mining is risk free if you have calculated the profitability correctly and your hardware does not break down. :)

    What does all this talk has to do with hardware, one may ask...

    ...well one could use fast hardware to calculate better probabilities for certain price fluctuations, that helps the trader to make better trading decisions with less risk. One of the things I'm working on at the moment. All stock-, currency- and Cryptocurrency rates has chart patterns that can be exploited for profitability when you find the correct relationship.
    Man that makes so much sense

    I can only imagine what that machine costs. The base Z8, which is nowhere near the specs listed above, starts at $2440 bucks.

    Going by B&H's prices, one Quadro P6000 comes in at $5600 dollars; this thing has 3. WOWSER

    Hahhah, yes! But then again for professional use, where you really need it and earn money with it, the price should not be an issue at all.

    No doubt someone will buy this PC but it'll be some one with money to spend, and not many working professionals. I don't see that machine going for less than 10K minimum if not more....

    The fully spec-d out Z8 is probably out of reach for many creatives, which is why there's also a Z6 and Z4. These workstations can't handle quite as much in way of raw processing power, speed, and storage, but they're still extremely capable machines.
    Here's and image of said machine....
