a-XP is a Crazy AMD Ryzen Thread Ripper Portable Workstation with up to 64 Cores

If you are addicted to LAN parties and are a prosumer interested in purchasing a portable workstation that is a complete beast, then look no further. Media Workstations, a maker of all kinds of workstation PCs, has today launched a uniquely designed portable workstation called a-XP. Alongside its unique aesthetics, the PC is packing some serious hardware. At the heart of the machine, there lies AMD's Ryzen Thread Ripper 3990X CPU. With 64 cores and 128 threads, this makes the PC equipped with a huge CPU horsepower capable of handling any workload on the go.

Besides the speedy CPU, the chassis packs up to 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz memory, which is disturbed in 8 DIMMs of 32 GBs. There are options for two SSDs, and one HDD, which can go up to any capacity you specify. For GPUs, Media Workstations offers anything from NVIDIA GeForce RTX and Quadro RTX to Tesla GPUs. If you are crazy enough you can even put two of GPUs for workloads that benefit from dual-GPU setup. Be sure to check out the Media Workstations website for additional configuration details, here.

Looks like an outdated micro-ATX chassis tacked to a run-of-the-mill KVM console(minus rails). I could probably make one just like this out of spare parts and a broken laptop.

Maybe they should make one more model, copy the case of an early 1980's "laptop" and market it as a retro design. An Osborne 1 maybe?

We had something similar in school, made by IBM with an orange plasma screen.

It does but not in that density. Actual spec is 2667mhz for 8x16gb and 8x32gb densities.

It looks like it's used to input a launch code, and should have a big red button.
