Whats your dream gaming PC?

[Thething]

Hi guys

Im not sure if this has been posted before in the past, and i apologize if it has but what is you guy's dream uber monster gaming PC, money no object?

Just curious what you guys can come up with for an insane PC and thought it would be kinda fun.

My entry into it:

Intel skulltrail motherboard

2x intel quad core QX9775 CPUs

8gb RAM (idk what kind of ram skulltrail uses though)

3x Nvidia 9800GX2 or 3x ATI radeon HD3870x2 crossfired or SLI'ed (unsure if drivers support this though if not then 2 graphics cards)

4x 1TB hard drives in RAID 10

Coolermaster stacker 830 case (i like my stacker)

blue ray/HD DVD combi drive

Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum sound card

1250W CoolerMaster Real Power Pro PSU (Biggest quality PSU i could find but ive heard you can get 1500watt)

30 inch TFT monitor

creative gigaworks 7.1 speakers THX certified

Liquid cooling

Vista ultimate 64 bit

And ofcourse a name for the system: THEBEAST

good luck coming up with more insane computers, wish i could have a PC like that, hehe

That is one crazy PC, lol, can i have?

[ebackhus]

That person has too much money and a very small (censored, lol).

A PC which can run Crysis at high settings without dying from a brain aneurysm.

Zero Punctuation's review on Crysis - potentially not worksafe.

i think that you don't have a big enough wallet for that :) then again neither do most people.... Some one i know recently got a quad core 2.4ghz with 4g ram and 1 x nvidia 8800gts graphics card.... It may not be dream but i wouldn't say no to it...

[Aus_Karlos]

Ive got my dream PC right here. And hopefully (if Gigabyte get back to me) i will have Quad SLI running from 2x 9800GX2 within 3 months

[Thething]

very nice, bet your looking foreward to the games on it

Im thinking of going quad crossfire with another 3870x2 but im waiting to see how the 4870 does first.

[HawMan]

Mine is far from a dream, But going from a Celeron to This is a big jump.


Next step for me is mabye the 9800GTX / 8400.

[Thething]

Nice PC but the price is kinda expensive for what you get, that PC could be self built for around £3000 or so. Im guessing $5999 is around £4000 in english money but feel free to correct me if im wrong

Also the PSU is kinda suspect for the power consumption of that system as it appears to come with the case and im not sure if 850watt is enough for 3 8800 GTX's.
