The ultimate computer?
So i was wondering.. for all you guys who love to make the greatest power machine ever!.. as of now, if you have an infinite amount of money, and without taking into consideration of over-clocking. what would be your dream rigg? think of the best parts including cases, mouse, keyboard, speakers(not surround sound but like a 2 speaker setup) and monitor that money can buy...
..oh yea i forgot.. keep it civil guys :P |

There have been plenty of threads like these, they're quite pointless. However I'm going for some Tigerton based system.

I would but it would just make me want to go and buy one... there really isn't anything new oout atm which would make a machine out of the ordinary..
I mean qx6800 8gb DDR3, top line mb, sli or crossfire, bla bla bla... if I had an unlimited budget I wouldn't even be buying a pc... heehee I would be holidaying in the bahamas or somewhere similar...... But hey I am sure you will get some dreamers up in here to build some pretty crazy rigs... lol

Psht I'd buy the best cars in the world and drive them around a track. Then I'd fly some fast jets. Then I'd go to my island, with my amazing comp that sits on the moon cause it's so hot and has to wireless beam stuff back to earth. Yeah, I'd get a custom designed computer based on x64 architecture with stuff like the cell chip and 50 billion 8800's ultras in sli etc etc. Basically technology that doesn't exist today on the moon with a bigass like 16,000x10,000 monitor. So all in all, fast cars, fast plane, computer that doesn't exist, amazing island, and did I mention women on the island that are basically out of playboy. Actually, I'd also buy Playboy from Hue Hefner.

Oh crap this isn't general non-sense. Sorry every my bad. In real life, striker 680i, qx6850, 8gb of ddr2 at the fastest you can get, 64 bit vista ultimate, triple boot with 64 bit linux and 64 bit xp, x-fi sound card, 2 overclocked water cooler ultras (cpu also water cooled), raid 5 (the 0 backed up) on 4 32gb flash hdds (on add in card, 2 in raid 0, 2 as backup), then as many 1 tb hdd's you can fit in a raid 5 array to, Blu-ray player, Hd-dvd player, 30" HDCP compatible monitor, 7.1 speakers (something like a real home theater), umm running out of amazing stuff to put in, oh crazy keyboard and mouse (I have no clue cause I don't have money to put into nice keyboards and mice), wireless n adapter card, umm need less to say best psu money can buy, case (always thought that was a sexy case). Well you guys get the point, oh one more thing, super quiet fans (like the s-flex ones) and a card reader....now that's the best real computer.
