So out of CURRENTLY available hardware and software what is you dream computer (price has no meaning)?
*You don't have to go into this much detail I just have mental problems*
Mine is:
HARDWARE
Mother Board: TYAN S2927A2NRF
CPUs: 2X AMD Opteron Dual Core 2.8GHz
Memory: 8X Wintec 2GB DDR2 PC25300
Hard Drive: 2X 750GB Seagate Barracuda ES SATA 3.0Gb/s Setup in a Raid 1 configuration
Video Card: BFG GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit
Sound Card: Audigy 4 7.1 24bit 192KHz
PSU: 850W PSU
Speakers and such: I would use the digital out to hook it up to my custom DAC, Amp, and speaker system.(designed all of the circuts and PCB just need the money to finish now...cries)
Monitor: Any good looking 17" LCD(just something you have to decide on by looking at it, some expensive ones suck and some cheap-o ones rock)
Other: The whole thing would be water cooled using custom desined water blocks and all water blocks would be mounted with Artic Silver.
SOFTWARE
OS: Gentoo Linux
Kernel: mm-sources-2.6.20_rc4-r1
Notes: You basic unstable ~amd64 system. Drives would be partitioned using Ext4 as the FileSystem (I'm a ricer I know this).
Desktop Enviorment: Gnome (I learned to HATE KDE during my Yoper days)
What would I do with all of this? Play Quake 4 at max settings, find various ways to bring the system to it's knees, have it run seti at home while I'm not using it.
