Thelio Mega: The World’s Smallest Quad-GPU Deep Learning System

Holy Crapoly. The system starts out at just under $8k, and can upscale the components to over $45k, with a lot of flexibility along the way (especially with storage).

There aren't any options for a different power supply, so it seems the standard one is intended to be adequate no matter how you configure or upgrade the system, which is reasonable, considering it's 1600W (although I have a feeling that running this and turning on the microwave at the same time would pop a circuit-breaker)

It looks like the CPU is in the cube shaped housing above the GPUs (that's where the big duct leads). Presumably that housing opens as well to give you access to the MB and let you swap out memory.

That leaves the flatter box at the bottom to be the power supply, which agrees with the placement of the main power switch. But the PS itself doesn't seem to have any provision for airflow, which I find a bit strange. I doubt the intent is for the PS to cook the GPU that's sitting right above it, so I must be missing something (perhaps the PS vents out the bottom?), or the renders aren't entirely accurate.

Anyway, my head scratching aside, a very impressive and sleek design with a seriously ergonomic interior.

One thing that I am sure of is that System76 gives very good value for money, and excellent support. The laptops I've bought from them have all held up to many years of constant use, and the support I got from them along the way when there was a problem of any sort was top notch (eg. when I needed a replacement power supply and the laptop was out of warranty, they helped me find a compatible replacement on Amazon rather than insist I get theirs at full price).

I really wish I could afford one of these, since even at the basic config they are truly drool-worthy.
