Zenskas Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd lose the physix card tho'.Apart from that its a spiffy build.Would you? I am unsure. There are some games that have physx support and this computer is 'ultimate'. NVIDIA is going to make a better one I think. I will keep it on the list for now.

tester_pedro Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) I would do this:MB: is ok what you choosenOS: Vista Ultimate x64 >> why not? you have vista ready hw, lot of problems running XPRAM: 8GB >> Ultimate PCs have minimum of 4GBGPU: nV9800 x2 >> enough cause games today are crap anywayCPU: C2Q (2.4Ghz would be enough but no limit with this), C2E (extreme is extreme for "nothing" - in my POV) >> there will be not much app where all cores will run 99%PSU: 600W with 80+ efficiency >> enough, i would never go into SLi,3-Way SLi or anything like that, i like mother natureHDD:2xSATA disks in RAID0 (if you want ultimate go for 2xSSD SLC )DVD: why not BluRay?PPU: noneCase: your choiceKey&Mouse: your choiceLCD: viewsonic, dell 24"+ >> nothing less best would be to buy a normal PC and x360 for games, cause developers these days do crap not games, console gaming is better investment in the future Edited June 11, 2008 by tester_pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 for video card both nvidia and ati are just about to release their next gen cards, so wait a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando569 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) why not add a nice solid state drive in addition to the velociraptors? use the SSD as you main drive and the raided raptors as your storage. im kind of scared to know what this going to cost, im going to guess around $6,000-$7,0000 Edited June 16, 2008 by Brando569 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m16si Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 No hard feelings, but....... its not worth itFor one third of that money you get a pretty decent computer.....I think you should spend your money somewhere else like beer or taking girls out or something like that.......bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best money can buy, as in no object? And at a total disregard for power usage seemingly? I'm not totally sure what's the point of the thread (no offense)... The absolute best computer money can buy so you can lust over it, for you'd need to be Bill Gates-like rich to buy/build one?CPU: Why only one CPU then? I'd say a quad Xeon X7350 would be nice (hey, I could have said 8!) It would totally slaughter this box on x264 encoding speeds, run anything in vmware, etcMotherboard + case: how about this? RAM: Might as well fill all the slots on that motherboard with some of these FB-DIMM's?HDD's: 8x 15K rpm SAS drives like these in RAID0, or SSD's, along with a Fibre Channel SAN of course!Needs a BluRay writer or 2 for sure as well.Oh ya, and a LTO-4 tape library for backups too. This one looks nice.And a pair of 30" 3007WFP Ultrasharp LCDs at least.Not that anyone could ever afford it, but at this point, 10G's or 50G's... Edit: actually, it's more like 70G's Edited June 20, 2008 by crahak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
