What would you buy with a 10K newegg gift card?

[AFB]

<= quad opteron

Rules:
a) Expire in 1 year
b) No resale 😛

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

Preferring to be a bit on the more reasonable side 😛

Antec P160

Seasonic S12 430W

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

A64 3200+ Winchester

eVGA 6800GT

1GB(512x2) Corsair VS

PowerColor ATI Radeon 7000

250MB Maxtor 16MB cache HDD

NEC 3520A

a tube of AS5

XP Pro with SP2

That's one kickass system and comes out to around $1500. Critique welcome

That's actually my current NewEgg wishlist though 🙂

That, or you know 4x dual core opterons and the Tyan mobo, but that's not realistic 😛

Sell it on ebay 🙂

You plan on hosting a server or something? I'd rather just put it into a nice gaming rig... 4k maybe... save the rest for upgrades/a new system down the road (assuming no time limit).

GCs can't expire in California anymore. 😀 Been a law for like 5 years or so I believe.

I'd probably build systems and resell them at a great price. It'd be a slow start to a business but 10k isn't bad capital.

Buy a bunch of stuff at a bulk discount and then sell it for profit.

You guys are really taking the fun out of this post.

I'd run an FX-57 with ATI x850xt in SLI (when it comes out) then I'd have a gig of the absolute best ddr memory, with dual 72gig raptors in SLI. Dual 19 inch monitors with a 22inch CRT for my strategy games.

I'd get a kickin water cooling system and try and take that FX-57 over the 4ghz mark. And if I burned it up I'd just grab another one.

Then I'd get an uber sound system and a 8 button optical mouse for Infantry.

Good choice on the monitor... but the projector? You can build an XGA projector for 500 bucks. 😛

 

[KnickNut3]

Yeah, probably a state of the art rig and a projector, and twin 21" LCDs.

Use the LCDs for poker and day to day stuff, use the projector for games and movies.

 

[Amplifier]

Ribbon you broke the budget rolf!

I use a projector at my house for movies and it's so sweet 🙂.

 

[intogamer]

raptors, wavemaster, g skill, fx-57, dual 6800U evga, you know all the best stuff.

 

[aplefka]

You can't change the options like that. If you just bought 10k worth of stuff, you'd be a moron.

10k is enough to build 10 GOOD systems to resell at 1.5k each on ebay or elsewhere.

 

[wiredspider]

Hmm.. a new laptop, a set of lcds, a new rig with ultra performance, and a projector if I still got something left 🙂

 

[sharkeeper]

Hmm methinks the Amplifier is clipping. 😛

I dunno about this. Dual 4400's sound good.

Is letting it expire an option? Honestly that would probably happen to me in real life.
