What kind of computer build would you get?

Prebuilt or custom I want to see all of them.
 
I would buy an IBM Aptiva with a 13" CRT, 8mb of ram, a 1gb hard drive, quad speed cd-rom, 3.5" Floppy, and a SB Sound card. It is 1994, right?

Haha, coming from you that does not surprise me one bit.

I'm trying to find a nearby Mac reseller since the closest Apple Store is 250 miles away :(
 
pretty sure i would go with the core i7 equivalent to skulltrail, a pair of core i7 extremes, 12gb of ddr3 1600mhz with 6-6-6-18 timings, two gtx 295's, a pc power and cooling 1200 watt powering it, a mountain mods ascension with a triple quad panel(25 fans in all) 22 sanyo denki san ace fans, three thermochill pa120.3's three gtx 480's, just for gpu's and chipset, and a custom phase change with dual heads to keep the cpu's around 4.5ghz 24/7

...lol this is just awesome, never thought I'd see something like this.
 
Hmm, i would go tri sli GTX 295(gonna come out soon, or they gonna be called gtx290, not keepin up too well right now), 24gb(6x4gb) ddr3-1600, twin core i7's, liquid cooling(2x quad rads), pcp&c 1200 watt,xfi elite, antec twelve hundred, 3x 1.5TB 7200.11 in raid 0, 32" toshiba rezga as a display, z-5500 speakers and a nice keyboard+mouse, and also twin velociraptors for games.
 
Hmm... If I had 5000$ I'd buy a cheap-o computer and spend the rest on the "woo-hoo" movies if you catch my drift :D


OR:

A Core i7 Extreme Processor
3 GTX 295's
36 GB of DDR3 (6GB x 6)
ABS Canyon Case
32" LCD Hi-Def TV for monitor
G15 Keyboard
G5 Mouse
7.1 Logitech Surround Sound System.
Eh... I can't belive how time flies... pretty soon the i7's will be outdated. Its sad how time advances so quickly :(.
Pretty soon ill be 80, forgeting my memory, and pushing daisys. :( It's scary if you think about it...

OR

A PNY nVidia Quadro FX5800 Workstation card.

Specs:

4GB of DDR3
240 Processor cores
need I say more?

Price: 3.1k (or for the kiddies $3149.99 smackaroos!)

I dont know why but i almost feel out of my chair laughing. It was just unexpected.

But on topic i dont know were i would start but i would stretch it as far as possible.
 
Buy off local school's P4 comp's and buy them some dual cores. I would invest the rest of the money in overclocking all of them to build a lan room :-D
 
i think my build actually goes over =\ the case+psu is close to 1k on its own, all those rads+wcing gear are probably another 1k the phase change is probably 800 dollars with dual heads, cpus+ motherboard i would expect around 3k plus i didn't even mention any hard drives(which would have to be 8 intel slc ssd hard drives in raid zero :P)

I should have just named the thread, "No money limit, what would you build"
 
I'd spend about $4k for an i7 rig with dual 4870X2's and SSD's in RAID0. The rest would be for logitech wireless mouse and a couple 24" monitors. :)
