I have on my mind the notion of two perfect machines, let me share them with ya:

(Computer for Internet use and work, not heavy stuff)

64MB RAM

PCI 3D SVGA Card

CD-Player 52x

Ethernet Card linked to a cable modem!

Windows 95 (without IE integrated)

(GAME COMPUTER heh heh)

are you paranoid???

My system has a 21", used, monitor. I have my old 17" monitor next to it (different system). The 21" makes the 17" look absolutely puny. I'll leave the spec's on the guts of the tower to you but a large monitor is something that I think I would not like to do without. Used 21" monitors can be had for $180 American. 17" new are down to $70-$80 bucks.

Used 42" plasma, $1800. I wish.

A large screen isn't exacly my dream, why do you want one so big, is it games or image manipulation? I have a 14" and i already think its kinda big lol, i just wish it would work fine @1024 but it doesnt that well, 800x600 is the one i like so i dont bother with it, now that ive started to use Photoshop i can finally undestand why would anyone want a big resolution

**mark** · December 12, 2004

I do minor CAD drawings in which it is nice to have a large screen and the use of images to show clients what we do and are capable of is nice to see on larger screens. I think that down the road there is going to be a lot more integration of home entertainment and computer systems, so watching t.v. is nicer on a large screen(and how many people here have set up a second, old system, to play music? I read one post of this here at msfn already). Gamers obviously would probably want larger screens with better resolution. For people who do a lot of work with computers and use multiple windows for different parts of their job, it can be handy having a large screen to have two or more windows visible at the same time and even a second monitor.

Besides, my eyes are starting to get weak. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

4 terrabytes? How would you use so much space? I'm taking you seriously because all the rest is do-able and nice.

Not paranoid, I like to have a fast system but also a Huge Storage System. With those raptors, you can't store that much files...

And don't worry about all this space on my drive. I keep ISO images of important Microsoft Volume Licence CD on my workstation. For now I have a 200Go hard drive and soon it won't be enought!

P.S. I LIKE IT QUIET TOO! I can't stand to listen to fast SCSI drive whinning all the time

**Famer** · December 13, 2004

DL and Bi0haZarD i'm seriously thinking about doing it one of these days. that would solve any space problems i could ever have, and all i would have to worry about is upgrades on my mobo and cpu if ever wanted to upgrade them.

as you guy's all know space-speed and grfx card's are thing we all want to upgrade.

also the 4tb would not be brought all at once

right now the pc i'm using is ok

1.8p4@2.6

IS7-E

AMI MegaRAID 475 Express 500

36gigx2 scsi drive's in raid

quadro2 card

512mem
