Who has the most BAD ASS computer HERE?

[Brutuskend]

I was just thinking about what I would do it I won the Lotto.
One thing that crossed my mind was building a "real nice" computer. But what would BE a bad ass computer these day's?

Who has the BADDEST BOX here?

And if money was NOT a problem, what WOULD YOU build?

 

Build?

I would call up sun, or cray or even apple, and be like, "yoh, I got a sh!t load of money and I want a toy".

 

[beer]

Where's the punch line?

 

[Howard]

I'd pack it full of the craziest stuff imaginable.

[Lager]

If I win the lotto, I would never be seen here again. I guarantee.

 

[Evadman]

Certainly not me.

[HyTekJosh]

I very well might, but I cannot release details because some of the goods are under NDA.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Some people are gonna list some really blown out quad processor system, but remember, you need to keep it simple too.

Me? Athlon FX-53 or P4, whichever has higher performance
Whichever motherboard is most stable and has most features
4GB of RAM, Corsair XMS
Single 73GB Raptor
250GB 8mb cache drive for storage
9800 XT 256mb
Antec Sonata case
Dell 2001FP monitor
Logitech MX Duo

One computer? HA! I'd get the following:
1x self-built, Athlon FX-53 with all the fixings. I'd set it up to be dead quiet, this would be my main computer, I'd set it up with a real amplifier and kick-ass 7.1 surround setup. I'd probably use a dual 21" LCD setup.
1x Dual G5 Power Mac. Just because I want to try it out.
1x HTPC, probably something along the lines of a shuttle XPC.
1x Laptop, relatively thin and light style. Probably a top of the line IBM T-series.
1x Itanium server , just because I can .

Dude, with the Voodoo, you will have a hard time telling reality from computer graphics. Hell, sometimes when I am outside, I think, "Hmm.. I should increase the resolution".

 

[NeoV]

Voodoo 2

SLI baby

 

[JimRaynor]

voodoo3 2000 used to play quake 2 pretty dang good. ^^;

 

[UNCjigga]

LOL, I read this thread after I was messin' around at Dell.com building a $20,000+ Precision Workstation.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Money isn't really a problem, but I hate to waste money. So I have a pokey 3.2C and fx5900nu and my Schwab account got the difference between that and a P4 Emergency Edition and 9800XT.

For intel machines making the "baddest boy" for gaming is actually pretty boring right now unless you go for something exotic like a watercooled (or peltier cooled?) P4EE or A64 and 9800xt, both heavily overclocked. Even then that big 20% gain in Halo FPS isn't terribly exciting.

Disk space? Anyone can easily fit a terabyte in a standard Antec case without even using the 5.25" bays.

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

I'd call the assorted computer companies and say "I've got $50,000 to spend on a toy. I'm taking bids." I'd go from there.

If money was no object, I would have the latest and greatest hardware the INSTANT it comes on the market so that I don't have to worry about unsupported hardware that's too futuristic to work.
