what about windows vista? i dont know anything about it but its the newest one so my guess is it would be the best. your spending more money on one computer than my mom makes in one year. are you saying that you make 1 mil a year? damn you must have really hit a good spot in life. also... how old are you?

Vista isnt out yet...

what is this RAM 4? why is it over here

The RAM is for the RAID card which comes standard with 128MB

Quote:

would the dell monitors be better?

Then I would have picked them

Quote:

now what Operating System would i use? windows media center?

I dont do OSes, or keyboards, or mice, or chairs, or other trinkets.

Quote:

how long do u think this beast of a PC will last? 5 yrs?

About a year

Quote:

cus i really like the media center application... (i have it on mine)

IMO, media center is a bunch of pretty crap for average users that barely know how to use a VCR. If you plan on putting this box together (and overclocking it at that), Id sure as hell expect something more than "media center" stuff.

If you only want 3 gigs of your 128 to work, WME will be fine

3.5GB

just i need 2 know what OS to buy

Solaris, W2K AS, BeOS etc
Here's a summary: http://www.osdata.com/kind/summary.htm
(btw I can understand asking about hardware cuz that's seriously confusing but OS? c'mon

)

25

For the record, you will never ever make use of any non-infrastructure components I picked out (cuz if you did, you wouldnt be asking for hardware advice) so I would seriously consider spending signficaantly less for absolutely zero measureable performance drop cuz you see, someone like me ... I'd make use of 16-concurrent threads flying around ... for the menial tasks you've outlined (cuz if there was something serious, you would/should have noted it by now), you'll barely even stress a 4-thread box ... but oh well, that's my two cents.

I once saw this 92" monitor. We actually is was 4 big lcd screens stuck to eachother. But that screen only (then) would take 98% of your budget if i remember corectly.

I had this great computer (for that time (2 or 3 years back i think)) with it.

It has new stuff now.. like a 160" monitor... can't find the prices tho

Congratulations.

If you give us a reasonable budget then im sure someone will build a better suited PC. The reason he went through thr trouble of builidng it was because you said you had $80k to play with

DanTheMan · 03-07-2006, 03:54 PM

ok i just upgraded my PC...
look in my signature 2 c what i purchased in my upgrade...

i will buy a whole new PC when teh AM2 comes out like ppl told me 2

elmarcorulz · 03-07-2006, 04:05 PM

I do like the way you put that you upgraded until the AM2 comes out, which isnt long. Most people would of upgraded to the specs in your sig, then kept that for a few years.
