We call those fiber optic cables.
Also you should look up quantum computing.
Edit: Most of the technology you're rabbling on about are already in the works.

RAID 5 is not really good unless you are planning on sacrificing a drive for data protection.
RAID 0 is better for performance.
I think I'll take the chance on the parity drive. The drives will saturate the bus anyway.

* The ATi FirePro v9800 isn't listed on Newegg yet so I had to go with the nVidia variant. Also, with the nVidia cards, I can only run 4 monitors at a time so hence why I had to add the NVS 295 card.
** Added the SpaceExplorer for CAD and LightWave work.
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
Can be found here.
With Server, I can run Hyper-V and have all my virtual machines without having to resort to VMWare (which is better in some cases, but not all). Also, the Quadro cards are faster (workstation wise) due to the added RAM and certified drivers. As for the monitors, the 30" requires dual-link, so I can only run one per card vs. two per card with the 23". I would however, choose a different monitor. The Dell U2411s are really nice.
Also, I have built a similar machine (the CPU, RAM, Board, Case, Controller, and Video Cards) for a rendering farm that we have at work. It works just fine without and crazy hacking. :)

Rendering farms are different to your consumer computer at least in that their video cards run completely different software. The keyword rendering.
Professional cards are optimised for CAD work which is why they don't perform as well as your consumer gaming cards, even though the hardware is essentially the same.
If you don't believe me then read this thread and this.
They're a bit old but it's enough to illustrate my point. Also read this article about soft-modded a desktop card vs a true Quandro card in CAD applications.
Edit: So if you plan to build yourself the ultimate CAD box then your build would be perfect. Otherwise if you plan to game on it a consumer gaming card is fine.

I don't game so much as work on 3D software and rendering apps. Hence, this would be my dream machine as the title of the thread suggests.

"Power efficiency is not the same as merely using power from other sources."
Yeah? But can you just switch to a different power source and run a system without any optimizations done on the components ? if u revert back to my post i was talking about optical integration into silicon chips and circuits that reduces power consumption and heat so theoretically its already power efficient and optimized to use solar energy

Let me Google that for you

In theory a computer can work fine without any RAM at all. It is called a Turing machine. Today's random-access memory falls mainly into three classes static RAM, dynamic RAM and flash memory. each has its advantages and drawbacks, flash for instance is the only one to retain data when the power is switched off, but is slower and the most common DRAM is fast but its a volatile memory making it non reliable and its limited in capacity, future universal storage devices would be fast enough to be use as system memory cutting down bottleneck of applications when more memory resource is being demanded and a power failure wouldn't result in data loss. More memory resource availability, better reliability, instant resume(hibernate), universal sharing for other hardware memory ect will be the advantages

"Diodes on one's head. Sounds great."
Eh? its electrodes. not diodes,
Diodes are used only in high powered devices
Anyways the technology i'm talking about already exist

RAM is a buffer. If you notice I was more concerned with allocation issues. Hardware allocation is easier than software allocation.

Does not the technology you linked act as an enabler for blind people? It becomes HOW they see, not an AID. If you stuck a chip like that into a nonblind person's retina, what do you think would happen? As for color spectrum we can't already interpret, installing a chip isn't going to magically cause the brain to be able to.

I had no reason to explain anything about power generation simply because its a different technology and i wanted to focus more into future computing and computer devices, anyways a simple integration of a active solar tracker and any automated cleaning solution for the solar panels is enough to efficiently generate constant output of power

Seeing is not interpreting light but detecting it
The light detecting chip will simply detect infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, gamma radiation, X-rays and visible light to convert them into electrical signals that the brain understands if you don't get it or don't believe me take your tv remote control and aim it to your mobile camera and what you will see is the infrared light that the mobile camera lens detects
And if some processing is involved i think its even possible to see impossible/forbidden colors in real time accurately by splitting a image into two different colors on different lenses and mixing the colors directly in the brain More Info

You could hook up VGA output into a DVI input by means of an adapter but that doesn't mean the picture quality is going to get any better.

I might go with Quad nvidia gtx 590 or maybe quad ati radeon 6970 both with sli and crossfire and multiple monitors with liquid nitrogen cooling

The best and fastest computer in the world.I know very little about computers but i know that i want the best stuff for sure.

If money isn't an issue.. a mainframe dedicated to pure gaming would be nice. Well either that or just keep on upgrading the PC with the latest stuff.

I'm not an expert in this stuff so I'd not want to take specifics too much. I'm more of the mobile gamer so I'd want the fastest gaming laptop ever, and one that is upgradeable if ever there is one :D
