£25,000 Dream Specs - Add yours now!!!

[Opulence]

Assuming that I'm one of Roman Abramovich's offsprings and that I have a £25,000 budget to spend, I'd like to run a little competition asking you to post your dream specs. All that I ask is that your specs be feasible i.e. no adding car engine parts or other make shift elements.

Regards, Stuart

Welcome to the site Opulence, do you mean £25,000 for a single computer?

 

[Opulence]

Gosh yes, and I'm not leaving until i've spent every penny!

 

[KGB-911]

can i pay Intel to bring out the Pentium 12 for that price?

 

[Ian]

Well, for £25,000 I'd want:

• A big 42" LCD as the main monitor, along with a top of the range projector for games/films - I think this would be the most expensive part (about £10,000 for the best both).
• Not sure on the exact sound system, but the finest 7.1 sound system money could buy for around £8,000, would give the best gameplay ever in partnership with the projector.
• Fastest Dual Operons Available (or Intel Xeons with 2MB cache)
• 4GB DDR II Ram
• 2 x Raptors (RAID) for the main drive + an array of 8 x 500GB Drives
• DVD-RW
• 2 x GeForce 6800 Ultras in SLI (cheers Alf)
• Force Feedback Flight Yoke, pedals, steering wheel and joystick (for every game combo!).

Not sure on the rest yet

Hey Ian, Geforce GTs? Go with the Ultras!!

 

[Opulence]

Lovely, lovely, lovely - this is exactly what I wanted to see, keep posting your specs.

[KGB-911]

Amd FX-55

Watercooling for a silent setup

 

[ChristopherP]

No system would be complete without an 8mb S/A DSL connection!

 

[Kenny]

Prometeia not good enough for ya?

 

[Kye]

AMD FX55 - XP-120 heatsink
MSI K8N Neo 2
512*2 Ballistix DDR PC3200
Eclipse 62 Case
XFX 6800 Ultra
SilentX 600W PSU
120MM delta fans at front and back of case
Vantec noise dampener kits for fans and PSU
Maxtor 8 300GB S-ATA
And all the rest, best sound card and all that. I use 5.1 headphones, so noise is no concern. I guess im being modest with the money i would have...but that would suit me. if i knew anything more about phase cooling and all that, then thats another £300 or so ^_^

 

[Opulence]

You all seem to be giving me so much however, the majority of the specs posted would leave me with a large amount of change, somewhere in the region of around £20,000 to be precise. I'll give you all a few more days before I put you all our of your miseries by posting my beast!

Custom made real platinum case, erm, dang, I only got £3.60 left now

Let's start again...

 

[floppybootstomp]

Hmm, this rack system looks good...

 

[ChristopherP]

this is all purely theoretical...right?!

 

[floppybootstomp]

this is all purely theoretical...right?!

I don't think so...

 

[Opulence]

This is theoretical as much as you want it to be, some would dare to call it positive projection.

All I know Is that I have a cool, bundle of 50's sitting on the mantlepiece that needs spending on one hell of a computer.

Regards, Opulence
