Maybe the extra $10,000.00 could go towards a consulting fee payable to a member of the TG Forumz.
 
Computer   $  5,000.00
Consulting  $10,000.00
Total          $15,000.00
 
Sounds like an idea... I'm very generous with other people's money.

You're not building that PC, you're just curious.
 
 
Fellow forum members, do this guy a REAL favour and don't help him WASTE HIS MONEY.
 
Some of us are having trouble scraping together a grand for a new car, your starting this post is fucking annoying and a waste of bloody time.

KKKKK, go pentium D's, they're hard to find only becuase they are SOOOO good! then get some ddr1 ram, the fastest possible, again, its hard to find because its sooo goood. Than get a sparkle PSU, and an, aspire case. Finish it off with a Blue orb cooler, and just get a little more out of it, use a LOT of TIM. The more the better I say. Then buy the biggest moniter you can, but make sure you go plasma since 1024x768 really is the highest, all the others interpolate to higher res's, so this is the best you can get. Gfx card wise, totally get the Nvidia Quaddro cards, since a person here got them, and boy does he run doom 3 at 55 fps!!!!

Hum. I thought the s2000's came with a turbo.
 
I will stick with the rx8 since adding a turbo made it all worth while (again).
 
 
P.S... the s2000s are just too small.

LOUD NOISES!!!!

heres an idea.
 
1500 on the actual build.
13500 on a college education or car. (or drop that into a high yield account and not touch it for 2 yrs or till you need a whole new build)

15,000$ down payment on a house is the best advice I can give.

S2000's are 2.2L, normally aspirated, stock at 240 HP.  The InlinePro turbo kit + full engine management is 400 HP safely to the wheels.  
 
Two seater's are the perfect size for me.  Just enough room for me and a woman...and my name never comes up when it's time to car pool  :lol:

ROFL.
 
Well I love my RX8... the only complaint (only) is the lack of power for the gas it eats... Then again, i was one to do research on it and knew before I purchased it.
 
 
My insurance company classes my car as the folowing:
 
4 door coup 1.3 liter 2 cylinder vehicle with high safety rating.  
AKA ... cheap.

You cant get a house for 15k.  
 
 
well.... you can... but I wouldn't want it.
 
 
 
If I had 15k i had to spend by tonight...
It would have to be car upgrades / Bill payoffs.

You know, I could use some money for college, I'll sell you the awesome system in my sig for $15000.  
Is a 15k computer even possible if you don't buy a 40 inch monitor and some insane cooling system?

Oh yes it is.  
 
You can far surpass 15k for a single machine, but your are delving into production class computers.
 
 
Check out some of the machines by Sun. You can easily get into the high thousands.  
 
 
Also if that OS is not your thing.... Check out the cost on server class CPU's, then double that with a dual socket mobo and 16gigs of ram and a quarto video card.
