If i had $20,000 to use RIGHT NOW, i would buy 6 vapochill systems, modify one for a Geforce 3 ti-500 GPU, modify the other two for the 2 pairs of RAM on them, modify another one for the Northbridge, and set up the last one on a IHS modded Northwood. I would use some more money to buy a Northwood for PC (not a bribe... cough). Then I would get a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum, maybe a really fast DSL line...4 512mb Sticks PC1024 (or wutever its gonna be) RDRAM, 4 200gb SCSI drives, on a RAID 5-1 (you can have 3-1, right?), a really fast DVDROM drive, a DVDRAM drive, and a CDRW drive. Dont forget about the adaptec SCSI card, and SCSI cables. And a ZIP/Floppy drive. How about it? Sound nice? (I would also pay someone to voltage mod the GF3...)

This should be in the General Discussion Forum. Can we get a move here.

No it shouldn't, fool. Its cooling. A vapochill is a freon cooled CASE. COOLED. ITS COOLING. is it a good idea? is it possible to do the mod?

with 20,000 just get a Clay computer with everything and buy a OC connection so you can hook up 20 servers to it and make a small business:D

I think you mean a CRAY supercomputer. And I dont think you'd be able to get much of a CRAY for $20,000. Although it would be a beast.

And AntmanMike, relax a bit. Chill <snicker>:)

Yeah, even the old crays are worth that for the gold wiring scrap. Hmmm maybe not the "newer" older ones though...

If I had $20,000 I'd buy 4,672 ounces of Silver and make you all Silver PC cases. Would be a little heavy to shlep to a LAN party but the Thermal dynamics would rock.

$20,000 bucks...hmm

Four foot rack, 4 x 4U chassis with dual xeons, 1g ram each, running linux. Can you say distributed computing? I knew you could!

Add an air conditioner, and you've got a home made Cray. Hehe, fold this.
