I thinkyou got the US price wrongTOTAL £7,631.41
about $3.5k

CPU Subsystem -- $16726.61Included in the $80,000 dollar price range is i want a nice display setup...(i was thinking tri monitors, each like as big as possible...
so include:
processor ( i was leaning toward AMD)
mobo
ram
video card
sound card
harddrive(i was thinking something that was fast... like 10,000 RPM or 15,000 RPM for primary and something HUGE for secondary)
Case (atx full tower)
cooling (i plan to OC best i can)
tuner
speakers (7.1)
display (three huge monitors)
OS ( i was plannin on media center... and getting vista when it came out)

Correct me if I'm wrong but (1) you have $80K to play with (2) you know very little about computer hardware (hence the ASRock motherboard, (3) You plan on OC and (4) You want to buy from Newegg and (5) You're asking for hardware advice? This isnt an attack on you ... just an observationi would like to buy everything from NewEgg.com......
Ya well... I tried to keep it balanced, ran out of money there at the end.Although im sure Praetor could build you an even better one if you want.
You'll need to get the M4881 and two H4881 to actually bring it to an extreme level ... or get the Transport barebones as I did and not have to track down those three other components (which are a pain)EDIT: Im sure you could use this motherboard if you want to go to the upmost extreme.
Infrastructure. Videocards, processors ... that all goes obsolete quickly. Infrastructure is much slower to go.is a good choice becase it is SLI capable and allows for two dual-core processors. What more could you ask for?
Depends what you want. If you want quality and sharpness, you cant beat a CRT. Since you're not going to notice the difference (otherwise you wouldnt have made this post to start with), I picked out superior LCDs. As for that plasma: it's crap... because:wouldn't this be better? see i want the biggest/best monitor i can get and have three of them
Sure you can and without having it gold-encrusted or anything eitherI don't think you could get an $80k computer for personal use if you tried
<inside joke> hehe I'd say I'm the luckier </inside joke>ur like the luckyest motherf*u**ing bastard on earth
Glad to hear, the last punk had to be put downlol, hey guys! im not like that!
I would personally reconsider:baisically i want 3 of ther best monitors there are!
See the high end box I set out in Computer Specs 101. And add a change or two:ok now, can we start tlking about pcs? if u guys were in my shoes what would u get?

Depends what you want. If you want quality and sharpness, you cant beat a CRT. Since you're not going to notice the difference (otherwise you wouldnt have made this post to start with), I picked out superior LCDs. As for that plasma: it's crap... because:
1. 0.786mm diagonal dot pitch. For reference sake, crappy LCDs have a dot pitch of 0.31 .. for reference sake, the CRT I'm looking at right now is 0.22mm
2. The contrast ratio is pretty good ... the ratio on the LCDs i picked out is higher
3. In light of the projector, the size argument doesnt fly.

baisically i want 3 of ther best monitors there are!
I would personally reconsider:
1. I'm a coder so I spend a boatload of time in front of the computer ... hence I have two-four high quality displays (quality first, size second). Depending on when in the month you ask me, it could be four 17" or four 19" essentiallty the point is "quality of image"
2. Now if your argument is "I want big screen for movies and stuff" -- get the projector or a plasma as you pointed out earlier. Keep the "typing and general computing" stuff on the "normal sized" displays and keep the movies and stuff on the "media displays"
3. While you may think gaming on a projector is cool ... in my subjective opinion, I would advise against it. There's simply not enough detail to even make it remotely enjoyable (unless you're playing games involving giant blocks or something ... any game that is detail oriented isnt going to be enjoyable for the reasons i outlined against plasma above)

See the high end box I set out in Computer Specs 101. And add a change or two:
1. Upgrade the machine to crossfire (i.e, buya Radeon X1900 Master card)
2. Upgrade the motherboard to the very prestigious ASUS A8R32 DLX
3. Upgrade the memory to 4GB
4. Upgrade the CPU to the FX60
5. Add a soundcard
That should have you set for far less than 80K
