what is the best computer in the world. like EXTREMELY modded. and like all networked with like 7 cpuus and stuf lol.
 
Happy 1337th post! You can't respond to this, or you'll ruin it. 🙁

Changwan, yeah, probably BlueGene or something else that I'll never, ever have access to. Can't very well run HL2 on it, though. The best consumer-grade computer is another, more interesting story.

ALIENWARES?????? DO NOT BUY ALIENWARE!!!!! THEY ARE THE WORST COMPUTER COMANY EVER!!!!
 
 
Check out the September Maximum PC. Has a "Dual Everything Dream Machine." Dual 7800GTX's, dual dual core Opterons, almost 2 TB storage, 8 GB RAM, etc. I don't see a "cost to build" or anything... I guess you could price it out yourself but I think it's safe to say it's not worth your money.

They aren't that bad, are they?
If price isn't a factor, they can give you some pretty exotic rigs.
 
You can build a better compy than an Alienware for about half the price.
My system total was ~=4000 and on Alienware it would have been ~=6000. Plus, with that you can only get 2GB memory.

Ooooh Cray XT3...
96 AMD Opterons per cabinet... and look how many cabinets you can put together! Wonderful.

The Cray X1e is even better if your software requires vector / SIMD processing and boatloads of bandwidth. 128 CPUs, 65 kW per cabinet (do the math, about 500 watts per CPU, hehe) liquid cooled. It uses custom Cray CPUs that run at low clockspeeds but do an insane amount of work per cycle.

Maybe the coolest thing about the Cray X1 and X1e is that it actually uses a SunFire 6800 or SunFire 6900 (48 UltraSPARC CPU cores) in an I/O cabinet just to feed the X1's processors!
