Default Your Fantasy PC

If you could build ANY PC you wanted (money was no object), what would you have? No super computers, but something for personal use

I'm not sure what I'd have, ideally a multi-cpu system with a couple of 26" LCDs Heck, a hi-res projector

one of those 4CPU (dual dual core opterons) jobo's would be cool, several GB's of RAM, a RAID array of 15K cheetah drives with 1TB of hard drive space, TV cards dual 7800GTX's with an Ageia physics processor, and the usual other bits
