I think I might need 2 PSU's for this but assuming I don't =P
This will pretty much sum up what I would do if I had a ridiculus amount of money
2 mice and 2 keyboards. Wireless mouse and the G110 for LANs and the G9x and the G19 for regular use.
4 SSDs all in RAID0 for 2 terrabytes of SSD awesomeness.
I think I've covered everything I need
EDIT: It seems that clicking the picky won't make it bigger for me. To see it in full right mouse click it and click "View image"

It would run anything atm but if you had all that money ONLY to spend on a computer I think you would probably go for the best money could buy.
I would build again in a year or until I couldnt run anything as i wished. Just b/c I have a million cash, doesnt mean I need to spend it all or more of it upfront.
You image wont go to fullsize either, nor do I seem to have a view image when right clicking on it. Oh well.

This is a great thread... I often do this, right before bed time.... lol
You would get the top dog in everything...of course... And before you put the whole thing together, you'll need to get your case back from the gold plating plant... I have to have a 24K gold case...Inside and out!

Again, people think too small. I don't want it gold plated, I want it solid gold, then platinum plated with Flawless "D" diamonds as buttons and on top of all LEDs.

Could you just make the computer out of the money you had for it? Then at a later date just blow it all over and have the money? I could think of quite a few things I would buy with 1m

Headstand's right, too small.....
Dual 1366 Board and 2 Gulftowns
A 160GB Drive for Boot, and a Fusion-IO for storage ( or 2 )
As many 5970s as I could stick in it
A LN2 plumbing system to keep it cooled in my custom machined case
Custom PCPower and Cooling PSU with exactly the right cable lengths and power system
A set of Dell 30"s for a wall ( something odd, like 5 or 7 or 9 so my crosshair is exactly in the middle of one )
A nice cascade system for all the GPUs
A HVAC'd server case for all the computer equipment
A CCIE equipment rack in my own telecom closet
FIOS' biggest plan.
For starters....
