[bjc112]

what parts would your dream computer be made up of...?????

 

[Supafreak]

Dual 1.0 ghz PIII
Intel OR840 - i think it is... or ABIT VP6
512 megs Mushkin PC133 SDRAM or RDRAM not sure wut those mobos take...
IBM 75GXP 75 gig hard drive, IBM 75GXP 20 gig backup
GeForce 3
Samsung 900nf
Plextor E-IDE 16x DVD...slot load or regular
Dont know many scsi cards...any'll do
Plextor 12x10x32 SCSI
Soundbalster Live ! X-Gamer
Klipsch Promedia 5.1
Any keyboard
Microsoft intellimouse explorer (optical)
A Floppy drive...
Dont know dont care bout cases...
Tri - boot- Windows 2k Pro, Windows 2k Advanced server, Windows ME

That would RULE!
For me anyway

 

[BigLance]

Dual 1GHz Pentium III Processors
Good Dual Board possible from MSI
1GB Crucial Cas2 PC133
Adaptec 160mb/s SCSI
Dual 10,000 RPM Seagate Drives - Lotsa Gigs
nVidia Geforce 3
SB Live ! Platnium 5.1
Intel 10/100 NIC
Intel 10mb/s Phoneline NIC
Intel Wireless NIC
Pioneer 16x Slot
TDK 16x Burner
More SCSI stuff
Sony 24" Trinitron
Other stuff... to much to list...

 

[bjc112]

yea i would go for a free one of those..

 

[jaydee]

I'll take a cray computer, you know the 32-64 processors one running risc, 10-20 Gigs of RAM, a few dozen 15,000 RPM hard drives all running raid 0, and some 400GB tape drives for back-up, yes that sounds nice. Oh yeah how about a quad monitor display. We'd have RC5 cracked in no time with a handful of these bad boys!

 

[jsbush]

My dream computer, I've got it right now, check my sig.

I've always dreamed of a computer that would load everything up really fast and would play games really fast, and well that's what I have.

 

[Noriaki]

A dual P3 is tempting...

But right now I think I'd still go for a single high speed TBird, most games and stuff are still faster on a single CPU.

So I guess
[*]TBird 1200@1300+ probably use an Alpha PEP66 with 26cfm YS Tech fan
[*]Asus A7M266
[*]512MB or 1GB or 2GB of PC2100 Crucial RAM (do they make 512MB or 1GB DIMMs yet?)

[*]GeForce2 Ultra with a Sony 21" high end (F500 I think is the model up from G500)
[*]Turtle Beach Santa Cruz with VideoLogic Sirocco Crossfires (not the DigiTheatre DTS because they don't have 4 channel input for games)
[*]My trusty Linksys LNE100TX NIC, or maybe an Intel Pro 10/100+
[*]A TV Tuner..probably a Pinnacle one..I have issues with my ATi and I don't like Haupagge...
[*]Adaptec SCSI card...not sure which one but an Ultra160 one with RAID 5

[*]Whats that IBM 15000rpm drive? Yeah well 5 of 'em in RAID5 36gigers if they have 'em.
[*]Toshiba 1401 SCSI 12xDVD/40xCDROM
[*]Does Plextor make the 16x10 CDRW in SCSI? If not the Yamaha 16x10SCSI
[*]Plextor 40x CDROM if my CDRW is SCSI (for Plextor discdupe)
[*]Zip250 drive (I have a few uses for a zip drive)
[*]InWinQ500N with an Enermax Whisper 550Watt PSU

I'd use my trusty logitech cordless freedom pro keyboard with my logitech wheel mouse optical (don't like the mouse man shape).

I think that pretty much covers everything....

A dream computer? Well, it doesn't exist yet. For me, I'd take an inorganic ammonia fed (predominately nitrosomonas) microbial engine. Starting capacity of approximately 30 gigaflops when seeded correctly. After a month of Prime95, it would have grown to 200 Teraflops. As long as you feed it and give it work to do, it only gets more powerful. Just don't let it grow too big or you could be faced with many problems!

Cheers!

Cheers!

 

[SolTek]

[xtreme2k]

There is only 700MHz and 550MHz Xeon that has 2MB cache

The 1GHz Xeon only supports 2way SMP and only has 256KB

 

[JorgeElPrimero]

I have it minus the the voodoo and plus a geforce 3

My Dream PC would have some type of mobo that would be able to accept all type processors, those that now exist and that will be released in the future. One that has a wide range of multpliers and FSB settings.

 

[SUOrangeman]

See Project Jukebox on my website or in system rigs. Everything exists (and I've started purchasing) except for the motherboard.

-SUO

 

[potz]

i want a dual athlon 1.2ghz. and maybe a gig of ram. oh yeah, and that lovely sony 24" monitor.

 

[heng1028]

as long as it is expensive, good and fast...

that is my dream

 

[Raspewtin]

my dream computer is something akin to a laptop with a very long battery life, awesome 3d performance, a touch/tablet screen, low power consumption, Bluetooth functionality (so I could share my cable modem with it), and waterproof (so I could use it in the pool and hot tub)

 

[Zenmervolt]

The Cray T3E-1200E. 2.5 Teraflops!

Zenmervolt

 

[gcliv]

3 ~80 gig Ultra160 SCSI drives striped with parity for mp3s/warez/moviez/misc storage

I'm just gonna stop now it's making me sad hehehehe

 

[UNLTuba]

Well, this last summer I did build my Dream Computer... Now though, I want more since more is available (don't we all?). To check it out, click on my rig link in my signature. See ya round...
