Ultimate Dream Build For Free (Hypothetical)

[RedRound2]

Spec'd out Razer Blade or MacBook Pro (or anything sleek and sexy) with a dock kind of setup (single Thunderbolt connection)  where I would have my 4K monitor, and the rest of desktop peripherals. If i do go with a former I would also want a Razer Core, with 1080 inside for gaming purposes of course

Raspberry Pi hooked up to a Note 7 screen.

Is it powered by a note 7 battery?

[Drak3]

Depends, limited to what is out today? Or are we allowed to throw money at Intel/AMD to develop custom chips and chipsets based on today's architectures?

[APasz]

Literally got my dream PC, money was and still is an object, just gotta work hard and eat noodles.

Although I've always wanted a server PC, probably be my next PC, who knows when I'll have to start from scratch though.

3 Note7 batteries. But since it's not in their housing, perfectly safe.

[deleted_member_030719]

Probably an i7-6950x, not any of these fucking dual-CPUs xeons. I'd rather have a single CPU with a good clock speed over two CPUs with a ton of useless cores.

Good point.

Would you have a standard case, a desk pc, a server or something completely different?

 

 I know its random but its a bit of fun and gives me a chance to get to know some more of you too!

 

Happy Modding!

Wait for the $10000 server SSD's

 

That would be my dream PC, fast as hell, plenty of cores - As an avid watercooler I would need to add around $800 to it for a full custom, possibly dual loops and tbh, I would get a caselabs but they aint on PCpartpicker

I've been floating the idea of a powerful laptop recently. I would allow me to get rid of my desk for more room in my house.

Yeah, laptops these days are powerful enough for 90% of the users. Actually, a setup like mine saves you from handling two different computers at different times and you can just seamlessly go from between portability to full on desktop kind of experience with a proper screen, mouse, etc. And since eGPUs are going to be a thing (although I wish more manufacturers actually would already jump into this) even high end gaming can be achieved using this setup

[manikyath]

the thing is, money is *always* a thing, you'll have a budget no matter how astronomical, it'll ALWAYS be a budget.

[ArmswieldTheHero]

My dream pc? Using it.

[BloodyWaters]

A Pentium III with Mobile Radeon Graphics.

thats a very valid point!

[RollinLower]

to be honest i kinda have my dream build already (specs in my sig) 

i guess the only thing i kinda want would be another 980Ti to SLI, but it really isn;t needed on my 1080P 70Hz monitor

Same, I already have all my dream peripherals, masterkeys pro s, vertagear sl4000, razer deathadder, and hyperx cloud II.

 

I am content with my monitors currently and I love my new case (Crystal 460x). I will be upgrading to a 6600k soon. I would like a few things like a dual monitor stand, a 1070, custom sleeved PSU cables, and a 240mm rad when I get a 6600k (for the looks). But none of those are things I can justify buying (currently).

 

Of course there are components that are much better than mine, but for me (gaming), I have everything I could realistically want.
