HAL9000

The first PC i built, and the only one so far, I named the Genesis Device. "Genesis" because it's my first built computer, and I added the "Device" because I like Star Trek.

What problems would there be in running virtual machines on ASIC chips? Wouldn't it almost eliminate the speed issues when running a VM? Companies like AMD and Intel could licence out designs for processors, and they would still make money. It would also be great for the open source community: design open source hardware without paying high costs to have the hardware manufactured. I would think the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages. So why aren't we doing this already?

My budget is fairly flexible. The higher the budget, the longer I have to wait, though. But instant gratification with a cheap system won't be as pleasing. My location is Indiana, USA.

I'm working on saving my money right now, so this build could change between now and the time i build it. Please rate 1-10 and give suggestions for changes. Lots of red and black.

Hey guys. I had an idea for some software I'd like to have developed, but I don't have the programming skills to do it. My idea is "Jam Time", basically Popcorn Time for music. If you're going to make it, please make it open source. I think it would be cool if it worked with XMBC. Maybe Android support? If you have any ideas, feel free to post them below. Reply or PM me if your interested in doing this; I've got a few friends who could help.

I agree with what many people are saying. If you've got an APU go for it. Otherwise its overkill.
