Your Dream Machine

Okay, so if money wasn't an issue, and you could have anything, what would your dream machine be using current products?




Here's mine.





CPU: Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition
Motherboard: EVGA X58 4-WAY SLI Classified
Case: HAF X
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1866
Graphics Card 1: EVGA GeForce GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW
Graphics Card 2: EVGA GeForce GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW
Graphics Card 3: EVGA GeForce GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW
Graphics Card 4: EVGA GeForce GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW
PSU: SILVERSTONE 1500W
SSD Boot Drive: Intel X25-M Mainstream 160GB SSD
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB
OOD: LG 10X Blu-ray Burner
CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee GTZ Ci7 Extreme Duty
GPU Block: Comes with video card
Radiator: Swiftech MCR320 360MM Rad
Pump: Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump
Reservoir: Swiftech MCRES-MICRO HI-FLOW Reservoir

yup... that would be mine too :p well mostly, just change the ram to 6x4 G.Skill DDR3 1600

lol. They may be capable of causing a wildfire in the forest, but when water-cooled, those beast are well tamed and can even run on an overclocked setting without the volcano effect. Too bad I won't SLI a 480 GTX in real life though, still cooking bacon with it.

I did see the water-cooling, but could not resist making the joke.

Maxed out Mac Pro + eight 27" Apple Cinema Displays.

That^

If money is no object and using only current technology, I'd like a Jaguar or a Nebulae, a $2000 Cintiq, then the 3D imaging systems from the university of Kentucky.

rawr.

The best laptop you can order at Alienware.

I do agree that alienware makes a great pre built laptop but it not the best brand. Even if you custom picked the components from them, it's still not the best out here.

With those video cards I'd prefer just getting several 30' monitors, why run a server OS?
Your system is more a workstation than a gaming box (unless it's your ultimate work box) Quandro cards although internally the same differ in software BIOS and drivers.

Long story short your box won't run without heavy modding and won't run games without weird shit happening.

Here's a more realistic build:
The Atomic "Beast"
Processor
Dual Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93GHz
Motherboard
EVGA SR2
Memory
Corsair CMG6GX3MA2000C8 x 10
Graphics
EVGA GTX480 x 3
ASUS GTX480 x 1
Power Supply
Antec TruePower Quattro 1250W [x2] (one wasn't enough)
Storage
OCZ Vertex 2 100GB x2
WD Velociraptor 600GB x2
Heatsinks
Noctua NH-U12DX-1366
Cooling Fans
Antec Tricool LED 120mm x4
Noctua NF-S12B 120mm x6
Disk Drive
LG Super Blue Multi BH10

When I read this topic - I automatically thought about this comic, but it took me ages to find the specfic one.

RAID 5 is not really good unless you are planning on sacrificing a drive for data protection.

RAID 0 is better for performance.

My dream machine does not exist :|

But if i had all the money and resources in the world
I would build one from scratch and call it madarchod360 and not skynet!
The processor and circuits would use frickin laser beams! rather than copper wires to communicate which would result in high data bandwidth, high clock speeds, low power usage

overall the system would run very low on power eh make it self powered using solar energy and it would still have enough juice stored in to power my home :D

The data drive storage would store data at the atomic level 1bit per atom with a capacity to store all the data in the world combined! and the storage device itself would be used as the dynamic memory device (unlimited ram) :D

There would be no need for an input device the system would be smart enough to decode/filter/process the user brain wave activity and convert them into digital signals and use them as input devices :D

There would be no need for a display device no HD No Ultra HD 3D vision ect.. the output of the system would be transmitted to the user eye optical nerve where a chip would convert the digital data to simulate electro-chemical impulses in the neurons that would enhance the quality of the image that the user sees, our eyes are designed not to see all the light color spectrum ect clearly, this technology would eliminate that problem :D


And for the ultimate question :D Will it run crysis x_X ?
Yes the system would be powerful enough to run crysis
on an vm emulator x The number of computer running crysis on the entire planet! :D
