    My next PC if I had $30k to drop



    And here's my next display, the 'grand canyon'



    The desk space required for that would be unreal. What a bad ass setup.

      Those prices are insane. You could build a computer with the same specs for a hell of a lot less.


      The display kicks ass though.

            I would get two computers, a IBM compatible for every day use and an Apple for computer graphics. My dad has an IMac at home with a widescreen and a gig of RDRAM (insane!) and it is SWEEEETT! He finally got DSL too. Picture quality is top notch. Oh and I like the DVDR and CDRW combo. Nice!

              I could build a terabyte array of hard drives. U320 Seagate Cheetah's on an Adaptec RAID controller. The same thing they are doing to get capacities that high. And as to -25 celcius, there are ways to do it, but I could build a more powerful system out of a quad Opteron motherboard and still come under their price point (and not have to overclock the hell out of my processors).

              Here is what I would do though for an ultimate processor system:

              A quad Opteron motherboard
              At least 4GB of memory
              Two U320 MSU's (mass storage units, basically a library to hold SCSI drives), running RAID5 on both of them.

              But for gaming I would tone that down to a single AthlonFX system, SMP aware games are few and far between right now, and SMP overhead eats up performance (although I bet the quad opteron system would still be damn fast). I would get close to the same amount of memory though.

                    You can. Its phase change cooling. Very expensive compared to air or water cooling.

                      I'd rather use the AMD Athlon 64 FX 51/Opteron processor over the P4 EE. The AMD is a 64 bit chipset and actually is running applications faster than a P4. Gaming seems to be a tad bit slower, but most gamers wouldn't use that type of computer. Another benefit of working in a 64 bit environment is that a 32 bit chipset limits you to addressing 4GB of RAM (I say limits very loosely here, lol, no desktop user runs 4GB of RAM) but with 64 bit you can address 8 TERABYTES of RAM. Just what I need.

                            Man, I used to have a few of those puppies, they were the bomb! I bet I had close to 500 games for that hunny.
