I'm gonna take a guess and say this is a mining rig.  This wasn't built for any games.

Probably, but there's a possibility it's for a scientific calculations (Folding@home, SETI@home etc.) ;)

You should know that folding and seti are projects for nvidia... ati run very bad on them.

Either they are mining rigs (99% chance they are) or they crunch on Milkyway@home/Collatz/DNETC boinc projects

I used my mining rig to play TF2 and now I get ~12838 fps. The downside is now my house is 200 degrees.

How much energy is everyone really paying that's is ZOMGWTFBBQ? I moved to Texas which is 20% more than Missouri energy wise and I'm still profiting nicely.
