Bah! I would go for solid stade HDDs or atleast ULTRA-SCSI-320 in RAID 0. Also I would get a dual processor rig, of course.

APC 700VA UPS $263x4


Total = $8,788



Edit, I would have gone with a 4 or 8 way Opteron system but I didnt feel like looking around for a price.

Oh yes, money is no object, I'll 4 of the above meaning the total is really $35,152.
 
Xbox and BenqQ 8700 projector on a 110" Silverstar screen. Add cheap 5.1 receiver and speakers. Big sofa to sit on. If Xbox isn't your thing then connect a cheap PC and play CounterStrike or BF1942. Nothing like shooting at lifesize enemies.

This setup will blow away any 22" CRT 1600x1200 gaming.

You don't need to use svideo. You can hook up directly using VGA cables. These projectors accept all sort of inputs. I'm using 110" wall screen in my finished basement and games and movies look incredible.
