a Quantum Computer </thread>
I don't know what my computer would be, but this would be my monitor setup. Maybe I could order 2 for good measure.

Same as that (perhaps getting the high-end quad instead) but with tri-SLi, only one 1TB HDD and 4x64GB Samsung solid state drives raided, and 2 blu-ray odd's.
*drools*
I'd get two terrabytes of silent running "fast" SSD's. Harddrives have no place in any "ultimate" PC...
Skulltrail M/B (or similar).
Two of whatever happen to be the latest quads around.
Two of whatever happens to be the best GPU around, in SLI.
8 Gigs RAM minimum.
Either three 30" monitors (connected together like you see on trading floors) or three 65" Pioneer Kuros 1080p screens. The second setup is better for games, but resolution is not as good. I still prefer the 30" monitors...
One of those LG dual format Blu Ray/HD-DVD writers (although I already have one
Everything watercooled. (Liquid nitro is too noisy for me.)
Custom made wood case (i,e. like the Suissa Junna but better) or go for one of those customized glass/alloy cases.
Whole thing would be around $20000+ (unless SSD prices have dropped). Add a few thousand more if you go for the custom glass and alloy case or if your carpenter is one of the "designer furniture" chaps who charges a lot for wood work...
(and this isn't including the sound system, and don't get me started on the sound system. Let's put it this way, a "good" sound system would cost a lot more than the ultimate PC).

I'd agree, but where would you be getting 2 TB of SSD's? The ones in production I know are 64GB Samsungs, and to get 2TB's you'd be needing... like 32 of them?
Yeah, SP1 is coming shortly...it needs an upgrade to prevent those double posts.

If "money was no object" and someone really did this is "real life", that would be quite sad...
I know that there are some rather sad billionaires who do all sorts of things to save the odd million here and there. But I simply cannot imagine any "reasonably normal" person who is loaded to the extent that "money is no object" actually trying to save money on their computer.
But ok, whatever works for you.

The SSD's you're going to be looking at are typically aimed at the military/defense industry rather than the consumer market. And they are fast.
But there are still some of the lower end products (i.e. under $15,000) that consumers can get reasonably easily. Look at the STECZeus products for examples. HyperOS as well. However, some of these require cooling fans that make some noise...
However, thinking about it, they are rather expensive for a home PC... Then again, the last time I looked at SSD's was 6 months ago - I would imagine that they have improved since then.
Google for "RAID0" and read.
... or do as enginurd says. Check out the Vadim Xiphias with it's "four" 32Gig SSD's in Raid0.
Although I'd prefer to go SSD all the way, currently the most realistic scenario for an ultimate home PC that contains huge amounts of storage is a combination of raid0 SSD's for normal use combined with traditional hard drives for mass storage.

If you want wicked fast disk access just get a shitload of those DRAM harddrive interface thinger dingers, like http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Storage/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2180
If you have a shitload of money contract them to build one that has more slots and talks directly through the PCI bus.
