Trying to build the most expensive computer possible

I just signed up and wanted to say hi.

I'm currently getting my degree in networking and one of my projects is to budget different builds. The first needs to be under $250. The second is under $1000. The third is trying to build the most expensive computer possible. I was wondering what are some of the most expensive PC components you can think of.

I found a diamond in crusted mouse for $24,180.00.:eek:

Oh and if you can include a link that helps me too. Thanks!

you could easily put about 20,000 euro of hardware into it.
plus all the extra trim like external storage and what not.

Yes I can use newegg. But I'm not too worried about the $250 PC


Currently I have a system that totals about $50,000 but I'm still looking for more expensive stuff.

Wow! I was gonna try but I don't think I can build anything > $50,000. Can you list all the components of this $50,000 build?

Might need one of these also, in case you need 3000 copies of something in just over an hour :) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1221720&CatId=21

You're going to need some software, too :) : http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=722314&CatId=306

Just shy of $70k. Of course, something this extreme is going to generate a LOT of heat. I don't suppose a cooling room is allowed as part of the project, is it? :D
