it wont be much better then a system that costs 3000 or 4000, 15,000 is a waste.

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.

What you said.

See carmine, the only good thing that comes out of being broke is that broke people are allowed to hate!

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!!!!









*hehehe :p

Spend:

$2.5K on the computer
$2.5K on a sweet vacation to the tropics
$2.5K on a 1080p 46inch LCD
$2.5K on professionally installing the best audio setup you can get for the money
$5.0K on a donation to a cause so much worthier than your new toys.

EDIT
Hmm just for kicks.. what's the most I could possibly contemplate spending on a PC without [/i]really[/i] throwing away money... (ignoring the monitor for now)

(approximate prices)

QX6700 - $1000
Stryker Extreme - $300
2x2GB RAM - $400
2x8800GTX OC SLI - $1200
2xRaptor 150 - $400
2xHitachi 1TB - $800
PSU (take your pick) - $300
HDDVD drive - $500???
DVD/CD RW - $30 (hehe)

Custom painted case with PhaseChange Setup and lcd touchscreen
$1500???

Total - $7500, give or take

Hmm it does add up right quick ... dreams, dreams....

EDIT #2
For the people taking this guy seriously, 99% these posts are fakes... obviously

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)

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.

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 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.

-----------------
I priced a Sun Workstation @ $ 30,715.00 without monitor or unnecessary items.

Sun Ultra40 Workstation.
Windows Xp 64.

A down payment towards a house? College education? A car? Therapy?

Far as 15K towards one computer, it is possible, but why? Just spend 2K every year and be up to date for the next seven years.
