Funny thing today, I actually tested dolphin on one of my school's workstation computers (I think it was this maybe: http://shopping1.hp.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/WW-USSMBPublicStore-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductUUID=i1sQ7EN5N3wAAAFAnEYCyXGY&CatalogCategoryID=c1EQ7habuDQAAAE_9cItdehn), it had an Intel Xeon processor and a 128-bit NVIDIA Quadro 600 Workstation GPU, and it actually worked well, I was able to play at a mostly constant 30 (max) fps (with the drops that went down to ~25 fps for a very short period of time).
So, I became curious and I went looking at workstation computers, thinking by some chance that they would be a good fit for this type of gaming (I also plan to produce music as well so I figured it would fit well with that too), and I found this:

The GPU is okay (I think), the HDD and RAM specs fit my needs, on top of that being an All-in-one so I wouldn't have to purchase pretty much anything else with it, but what really caught my attention was the i7 (Haswell) CPU. From what I've read an i7 is overkill for pretty much any application (I might be wrong in this case).
I just thought it was an interesting find, and I wanted to hear your guys thoughts on it.
