[ADE]

OK, I didn't really win the lottery, but if I did, what should I buy, I mean What computer parts should I buy to make the ultimate gaming machine???

 

[The_Beast]

ha hahahhahah funny funny


how much do you have to spend??? what kind of computer do you have??? we need a parts list of your comp

 

[ADE]

Anything. case, CPU, GPU (heck, why not 2? hell, why not 3?) PPU, monitor, cooling, SPU, RAM, CD, DVD, Floppy, MOBO all that good stuff.

 

[nowayhose]

buy an alienware computer (alienware.com) with all the upgrades and parts, the most expensive computer there comes out to like $11,000 and since youd be a millionaire, why not get t1 internet connection? $300/month!

 

[elmarcorulz]

why not get t1 internet connection? $300/month!

Because T1 doesn't have a fast downstream.

 

[pyvnetrvne.]

why not get t1 internet connection? $300/month!

My cable internet (6000/512) rips T1's downstream to shreds.

That just about does it, I dont know what your going to do with 9 fans.

 

[Archangel]

meh... not even 2 7950GT2X's in SLI?..

 

[thealmightyone]

Why not buy a Voodoo PC. I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the wire management in their systems.

Get a Core 2 Duo X6800
2x X1900XT's
4GB of Corsair TwinX 8500C5
3x 750GB Seagates and a 150GB Raptor
2x Plextor PX-760A
Creative Labs X-FI
Ageia Physx card (why not, lets see them fit that in with a soundcard and 2 X1900XT's, water cooled)

All that for just $17305.61

I'm sure, having just won the lottery, that they'd be more than happy to replace your hard drives with Cheetah's, in a RAID set-up, and order other parts in JUST for you.

1. That is an ATI video card, you can't do SLI with it.
2. There's really no point in buying 2 cards, since FireGL cards currently don't support crossfire.
3. I hope you aren't reccomending the FireGL cards for a gaming system, as they are meant for CAD work.

meh... not even 2 7950GT2X's in SLI?..

i believe right now the drivers for 7950GX2 SLI are in beta and aren't very good atm...so he's better off with 1.
