I was posed a question of 'What would you do with 1 million dollars.." I know, i know.. we ask it all the time. But there was a catch, the question finished with, ", And you could only spend it on computer equipment, and only stuff that you would use." Well, that got me thinking. If i had 1 million dollars, what would i get for equiptment. Well, here goes.

Computer 1 (Gaming)
DFI NF4 SLI-DR
FX-57
4 gig OCZ DDR Platinum Series PC4000 Dual Channel
SATA2 Solid State Hard drive 500gb
2 EVGA 7800 GTX KO
2 Plextor SATA DVD-RW
Creative Labs SB X-FI
HP L2335 LCD monitor
Logitech Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G7 laser gaming mouse
Saitek Flight Controler X52
Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speaker system
PhsyX Chip (As soon as it comes out)

Computer 2 (Server/Digital Video/Audio creation)
TYAN K8WE
2 Opteron 275s
2 Quadro FX 4500s
16gb OCZ Titanium Series DDR PC 3200
SATA2 Solid State Storage HDD (Whatver money i have left after other components determines the size of the drives)
Logitech MX5000 Keyboard/Mouse
2x Dell 2405FPW
Logitech Orbitz
Logitech Z-5500 speakers

Power for both systems supplied by PCP&C
Cooling for both would be Liquid, compontents for the Server Aqua Computer, Gaming system would be Danger Den. As much silver as possible.

Lots and lots of play time.. Lots and lots of power..

Anyway, as it says in the title, this is a dream setup. If you had 1million dollars to spend only on computer equipment that you would use, and have a purpose for. Enjoy!
 
You barely spent any of your money! Why limit your solid state drives to sataII? Get scsi! And paint your house with lcd screens. Also, those 2405s must go, get some nice larger sceens. And why only 2 Opteron 275s, get 4? And cheapo logitech speakers? Get some nice electrostatic speakers. Jeez, some people just don't know how to spend their money... ;)
 
not quite my "million dollar" dream computer
but damn sexy anyways

why bother with lcd's? don't they have some HDTV projectors with good refresh rates? mmm....yay big screen

and i would definitely throw a few laptops in there. One ultra portable, one midsize for casual use, and one beast for gaming. possibly a tablet just for fun. lets see....a few printers, laser for normal stuff, photo for pics.

and then spend the rest of the money on payments for a massive pipe to the net. hmm...dedicated OCR-10 anyone?
 
the OCR 10 would sap your million bucks quicklly . How much is that, isnt OCR 3 like 5k a month?
 
damn.. you could download quite alot of stuff in a month though, with that fast of a connection... lets see.. 500,000 dedicated to an internet connection.. 5k a month.. 100 months.. I think i could fill a harddrives in that time...
 
1 million... and only 2 computers...i would have computer everywhere... even in the shower...... i dunno if anyone saw that ibm's smart house... i think its ibm... you can like put uncooked cookies in the oven...... but you dont have to cook them cause it will keep them chilled... then when you leave work or something you can use your cell phone to start the baking... and you will get fresh cookies when you get home... umm the internet enables microwave... hmmm there is a lot of shit haha
 
With that kind of connection you'd want a few PB of storage. Unfortunately the left over 500K would not even get you into the base config :mad:
