If you won the lottery...

What would your computer consist of?

I'm thinking...
FX57
2x 7800GTX
Mach II GT (x3, for the GTXs and CPU) *or a triple cascade to save space*
4x 74gig raptors in RAID 0+1
2x *insert best SATA II drive* in RAID-0
2x lightscribe dvd burners
*insert highest-level sound card*
7.1 surround sound system
floppy drive / media disk combo (for BIOS flashing

)
4x dell 2405FPW (is that even possible?)
4 gigs of the highest-quality RAM
mobo that can run 2x 7800GTXs with 8 SATA ports (4 SATA I, 4 SATA II) so not a DFI :bang head

my MX1000
a really cool keyboard
a case that can easily fit the prommie and all my stuff

what about you?

Forget the trip, I'm buying a remote island

I'd probably buy a wicked laptop, I'm fairly happy w/ my desktop. One of those massive dell monitors would be pretty sweet. Aw heck, give me two of 'em.

1979 Corvette Stingray Black with all leather interior with the Big Block Chevy (dont know if it came with it, but id put one in if not)

Biggest TV known to mankind (not a projector...thats too easy)

More Lotery Tickets

Lifetime supply of Pepsi

A Small house.....so my watercooled computer can fit indoors

1000 X2 3800+ with 2Gigs of ram a piece networked on a gigabit network going out to redundent internet connections with a high upload speed. All housed in a seperate air conditioned building with redundant power supplies. Each booting over the network from a Overclockix LTSP server.

FOLDING POWAH!

Then put the rest in a savings account or something earning interest.

i dream of this every other night.

Computer would be the very best you could find. Along with a 4 cpu 8 gig of ram xeon for a web server that would be stored in my house that has fiber running into it. And the baddest laptop that is made.

A new Motorcycle
A new Car
A new house
what is left over would be put in the bank to make me more money. O and i would buy my wife something

koontz946 · Sep 21, 2005

heh yeah i guess most people just read the title (i stated what COMPUTER cause it's in the computer-related section

)

but along with my computer i'd get a nice car, house, and stuff for my house (heh im only 19 so that's a lot of stuff!), pay off my family's bills and stuff, buy my bro a house + a car, put a couple hundred thousand in accts for my little bro and sister, get a huge house on a beach somewhere for my extended family (i am one of 28 grandchildren... BIG house :santa:

)

then the usual investments, bank accounts, gifts to charity, etc.

id probably also set up a scholarship for the HS i went to (private) and fund the baseball team's own field (not a stadium, they're not THAT good

)

CrystalMethod · Sep 21, 2005

My usual in this kind of thread. Just a lil' system for surfing and e-mail. maybe the occasional game of freecell...

nothing too special...

koontz946 · Sep 21, 2005

i wonder how well that would work as a laptop.... about 1 1/4 tons... hmm id need to work on my calf-raises!

too bad you have to contact them for a price!

Lotec25 · Sep 21, 2005

Umm, probably a mid-range Intel 775 system with a moderately large amount of hard drive space, and a nice LCD monitor. The rest would go towards college, and leaving easy for a while, and a new bike or two.

I don't play the lottery... But will you take me with you ?

1cem4n · Sep 21, 2005

i'd make a server so i could do hosting and help out some friends. i'd also make a pretty good gaming rig, upgrade my current one, and replace my room window. i would also buy a nice bike(the ones which require human energy to make them work) and make another computer for hosting CS games.

i would also help with hosting stuff on this forum.

fuzzba11 · Sep 22, 2005

I would buy a desk 50 feet long, then buy 10 cases, and parts for 10 different sweet computers...then I would build to my hearts content.
