IF you had 10,000 bux . .. . what would you do??

[ArkAoss]

would you build one kick rear system with dual processors phase change cooling on every piece of silicon and scsi floppy's???? or would you build a bunch of pc's with decent specs capable of the same stuff each, or would you build like 3-4 systems, one tricked for games, one rigged for music and cd burning, maybe another for websurfing, one for lan, and another for dvd's?? well what would you do.. . . . . ?? ? ? ?come on lets here the awsomest idea

 

[sleepwalker]

spend $2000 on a good fast system and invest $8000

 

[Noriaki]

Build a Win98/2k box that was really fast.
Build a Linux/Win98 box that was mostly for linux but fast enough to be used for a 2nd gaming machine.

Invest $5-7k

Sorry I know it's boring, but honestly if someone dropped 10,000$ into my lap, I wouldn't waste it all on my computer, I would not spend money where it wasn't needed to net a 2% performance increase.

 

[Madcowz]

car definitely

 

[chiwawa626]

10,000? i'd higher a transolater, then goto china and tiwan and buy parts for a killer rig from AKIBA PC hotline and some other cool places.......i saw a pic that akiba has a P4 in their hands

 

[etech]

I agree with SleepWalker, build a good upgradable system and invest the rest. IRA will do more for you in the long run then a computer that will be obsolete in 6 months.

 

[damocles]

Screw the PC, i would take off overseas and TRAVEL!!!!!

 

[GT1999]

Hercules GF2 MX
128MB more of PC133
Upgrade my P3-450 to a P3-700E Slot-1

Put the rest in savings.

 

[RZSupraTRD]

I've done something like this.....I'd build one *honk* of a machine.....I've done something but the cap was 13,000...it's got t-bird 1gig, 70 hd, super micro case, 2 burners, 1 dvd, a dvd RAM, and the most expensive crap u can tink of

 

[BA]

Half for a car, invest the other half. I'm more than happy with my current $600 system.

 

[Soccerman]

if I spent it all on computers, I'd make one computer for games, and one for music/DVD's, and connect them using a Fast Ethernet. THEN I'd have both with their own Dolby Digital Reciever and some pretty good speakers to accompany them (the one with DVD/Music playback would get the bulk of the audio budget, ie better components).

but more realistically, I'd just build a PC or something like that, and put the rest into something that'll give me an acceptable interest rate, then use that interest when there's enough to build another computer etc etc...

 

[RGN]

AIRSOFT GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skemlawn]

Get a piece of A$$

 

[PliotronX]

Get a T1 line for a few months

 

[ElFenix]

a new laptop, maybe a new desktop, about 2k for audio, the rest toward a new car.

 

[Yza]

Come on now...
If your talking computers be realistic.

Build a kick ass $3000 system!!!

invest 7k

and put the revenue towards upgrades every few months, so you allways have the best.

building a 10k "SUPER DE DUPER SYSTEM" will be worth crap in a few years...

 

[Shockwave]

Well, I heard brothels are legal in Australia.....If I had 10 grand, I'd be for findin out.... Computers are fun, but they aint got nothing on a good peice o a$$

 

[BFG10K]

I'd upgrade my CPU and video card and put the rest in a savings account to earn some interest. Then every 12 months I would upgrade or get a new system until I ran out of money.

Face it, even with spending $10000 your system will be obsolete in 2 years. Why not make that money last longer?

Who needs dual CPUs and UW SCSI hard drives anyway? I just want a decent CPU, decent video card, decent RAM and an Ultra ATA 66 HD.

 

[Frenchie]

Plop it down on my student loan.

 

[ArkAoss]

so you're all more savy than really powercrazy, cool,

 

[ArkAoss]

ok heres what i'd do with the 10 grand: 2k: hit man take out only man tween me and suntin i want, 3k ring for my girl, 3k oubly redunt dual processor tbird with cross-linked mobo's, 2K for 5nice 19in monitors rigged in a kind of pyramid array

 

[CraigRT]

I already have the power I want in my comp.. I'd build another system on another platform and probably get a really nice Chrysler Daytona Iroc R/T

 

[Yzzim]

$10,000 might cover tax and shipping for the dream system I want

[Linh]

pay off the interest on my student loans

 

[compuwiz1]

Use it to make more money.
