Ku-sama · 07-14-2006, 09:08 AM

Just as the title says, post the specs of the computer that would be built if you had unlimited amout of cash to do so.... mine is in my sig

rahving · 07-14-2006, 09:24 AM

Seems like a self-gratuitous thread to me. At any rate, my dream computer is one that can play all pc games currently out on max graphics & settings perfectly smooth...I don't think it exists currently, at least mainstream-wise. (Oblivion)

4xAMD dual core Opteron 285(8 cores total

) 32GB of ram W/ 2 7950's just for the hell of it. And We can't forget the 147GB 15,000 RPM harddrive x4 with another 10 300GB 10,000RPM's and 2x750GB 7,200 RPM's with different RAID fuctions.

All watercooled using my 100G fishtank as water source. It cools my PC and heats my fishtank

Two in one.

Well, the only reason I posted was because I already had a "dream computer" list saved on my comp, so it wasn't much effort for me to post it here.

And does the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" mean anything to you?

We endorse perversion and call it an alternative lifestyle
We exploit the poor and call it the lottery
We neglect the needy and call it self preservation
We reward laziness and call it welfare
We kill our unborn and call it choice
We neglect to discipline our children and call it building self-esteem
We pollute the air with profanity and pornography and call it freedom of expression
We ridicule the time-honored values of our fathers and call it enlightenment End Quote.
Hey I like what you posted. Seems for the age you are above average! Those are the things we honored when I was growing up. Nice to know some still see truths where the mess we call life today (which consumes our time and keeps us speeding from place to place) promotes self!

I dream plenty about computers....but nothing that could ever become real. I am happy with what I have now, except for gfx card and fans. I would want a server though (like a 1TB 15,000 SCSI RAID server type)
