"God Box" is an Ars Technica system guide (just a random Ars guide, not the latest) name. Even in 2006 (which this one is the earliest I can find quickly) it was the "Double Stuff Workstation".

Personally I'm in love with both PCIe and single-threaded performance with at least 4 cores, so HEDT is really not quite for me as a PC. Now as a VM host, I'm keeping an eager eye out for the 1900.

You've probably got a very specific set of requirements if Ryzen ThreadRipper 1900X meets your needs better than Ryzen 7 1800X or Ryzen ThreadRipper 1920X or even an EPYC 7000 series CPU does.

Well the 60 PCIe lanes and quad channel memory features does come to mind.

Threadripper 1900: when you need more IO than cores!
