If I ever won a multi-million dollar lottery, I'd immediately buy either this Cray XT3 SuperComputer:

or this IBM zSeries Mainframe:

Forget the Cray!! What about a massive cluster with 640 processors & 10 Terabytes of ram like the earth simulator!!!

It runs at 40 Teraflops!!!

GPU: 2x X850XTPE
CPU: 3700 minimum

DISC DRIVES: 2x DVD-RW for direct DVD to DVD burning

DISPLAY: Xerox XA7 19"
AUDIO: Logitech Z3000 and an icemat Siberia/Speedlink Medusa headset

PEIPHERALS: Wacom intuos A3, Canon IP4000 printer, A scanner
 
Those Xerox monitors aren't that reliable. I see more of those returned to the computer store I work at than any other brand. They do in fact come back for hardware issues.

I'd go with something else.
 
I'd like to get a dual Athlon 64FX motherboard and stick two of those processors on. Then at least 2 gigs of RAM. Then I would want a Raptor 72gig hard drive for just the OS (which would probably be a legal version of Windows XP64 Pro), then a 120gig hard drive for music, 300gig hard drive for movies and 300gig for games and whatever else. Wouldn't mind the newest NVIDA video card and also a Creative SoundBlaster sound card. All this would be liquid cooled. Next I would like to see 2 DVD-R DL drives so that I could burn and copy whatever I wanted too and I could easily backup stuff on the drives. Won't need a floppy drive because I barely use the one I have.

For displays I'd see about getting either the 20in or 23in LCDs from Dell; not one but two for tons more working space. They would give me more USB slots and a card reader. Then I'd use a pretty high res. I'd also need another at 5.1sound system, b/c right now I love listening to music on my computer with what I have. And a laser printer, love those.

That would be fun to have but I still love my system now (4 years old):
1.4ghz Athlon
1 gig SDram
DVD ROM
CD-R
FX5500 256mb Video Card
Sound Blaster Live Platinum
40gig & 80gig hard drives :cool:
 
A machine soo good, it never has to be upgraded because it will always let me overclock it some more. Of course we're talkin on air.
