My question to you is, how would you do it? If you wanted the best "look at the size of my dong" machine. I only ask because I do have a $10k budget and would like a jumping off point. Before you flame me for spending that much money, let me say that I have been dogding bullets and IED's in Iraq for the past year. I have no debt, a brand new Silverado (paid for) and $30k in the bank. Now I want to build a new machine soon as I get back, roughly 01AUG2010.

Watercooled - YES
Overclocked - Definately
Monitors - 3-4
Use - Gaming, Surfing, Movies, Benchmarking

Current System:
Antec 900
Tagan 900w PSU
GeForce 8800GTS 512
Samsung ToC T220 22" 2ms
E8400 o/c'd 4.16Ghz
ABIT IP35 Pro
G.Skill DDR1000 8Gb
WD VelociRaptor 300Gb (x2)
WD Caviar Blue 640Gb
Vista 64bit

I don't think any of that will be reusable. Probably just make that my Media Machine.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Wow you know, you should really give people a limit to be honest there is overkill even in the hardware world. I'm sorry you should put a limit on this cause its a waste to be honest. I could build you a really nice computer for 850 or 900 cash. It's up to you though.

What is the deal with Hexa-Channel RAM? I can't find any decent articals relating to it. I did find one in regards to dual channel vs. triple channel. As part if the test they put 6Gb of triple channel up against 12Gb and the cost didnt even come close to increase in performance. Which makes me wonder why I should even consider maxing the board out at 24Gb. Just seems like a waste. At least for what I use the computer for.
