I would use the WD Raptor as my main drive and then run a raid 0 setup with the two 400gig drives. If anyone recently one the lottery and would like to donate this system to me just let me know. 😉


Obviously I'm an AMD fanboy and my system would be a gaming rig. What would yours be?

Also the 10 monitor's will be like this:

[Heyyou27]

Even better, my old 33MHz Intel 486.

 

[smapty]

Even better, my old 33MHz Intel 486.

Well have an old pentium 60mhz with 32mb ram and a 1GB hardrive that I saw in the back of a gift shop. $5.00 for the whole thing, I still think my Ti-85 graphing calculator puts up a good fight.

 

[parlee]

i woulda offered them 3 and walked out the store with it ... just to let every1 know, 2 gb memory is actually better than having 4, i read somewhere.. (toms maybe) that more than 2gb starts to slow ur comp down, and xp might not even see over 3gb.,..

 

[Heyyou27]

Unless it's Windows XP 64-bit edition.

 

[luminaris]

LOL, my old watch calculator would put up a good fight!

 

[dvdpiddy]

Imagine the fps on bf2 with that 😀 let me see 400 mhz each muliply by how many procs 65,536 8O holy shit! add a 7800gtx and youll get 1000fps go blue gene go! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

 

[tenaciousleydead]

dude LN2 is such a hassle as its a liquid which needs to be maintained at certain temperatures to keep its cooling ability, id stick with vapochill or even just a TEC watercooling system would do very well.

[pmr]

The fully loaded Quad CPU Powermac G5

 

[parlee]

Rustol3um u have too much time on ur hands and by the way! x1900xtx in xfire pwns gtx512 in sli it feels like 600 watts wouldnt be enough power for that beast of a machine

 

[Rustol3um]

Thats ok.........not like those BFG's are availible....and can you really have xtx in Crossfire mode anyways? I thought it was just the XT's with one master and a slave card.....but wuteva..........and yes I have too much time on my hands today....heh

 

[dvdpiddy]

A mac my ass oh wait you a mac fanboy nevermind 😛

 

[parlee]

i think xtx can be in xfire, kinda a bad idea if they didnt.. as for a quad mac, just to let u know mac are much more powerful than pc, a mac emulated windows within osX and had almost no slowdown, looked like it was on a pc, a pc tried to run osX on windows, ran like a celeron 233 running windows xp... not really a huge point, but helping to prove the point that macs are indeed more powerful, now they just need full support of windows games... and apps, and a much lowerp rice tag

 

[dvdpiddy]

yeah cause powerpc is great for games lok at the new xbox and ps3 why can a ibm power pc at 1ghz run games better than a pentium m at 1.8 ghz?

 

[parlee]

well xbox has 3 3.2 ghz processors (xbox360) xbox1 had a 733mhz processor... i too would like to know the answer to this if anyone knows, because a ps2 has a 333mhz cpu(i think) and it can run decent graphics, try running any new game on a 333... u get the idea... ne1 have a reason?
