Ultimate Dream Build For Free (Hypothetical)

[purplepenguin202]

I would want a 3960x, a 4-way titan sli setup, 32gb 2133 mhz corsair dominator platinum ram, 3 of those sweet 24" dell 4k monitors, that 2tb adata ssd when it comes out, windows 7 ultimate, those sick func headsets that were shown at CES,  And some decent internet, not the 250 kilobyte per second bullcrap i have now

[Sheldon_King]

Mine would not be a desktop to be dream, but this would be a pretty sweet one for me. (Note the 780ti addition that PCPartpicker will not allow. )

It's in my sig, under Dominator.

More of a dream setup:

[WereCat]

Well this is dream build from my nightmares

[LiquidCooledCat]

This would be my ultimate build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ihvd

If I was actually getting this I would probably get a cheaper screen and custom liquid cooling.

[Me1z]

I don't have a single dream build. Instead, my dream is to build ALL the computers. In fact, if I wasn't limited by money and I could think of a use for them all, I would probably never stop building them. As I type this I'm planning a dedicated folding rig 

[Grave]

This isn't sub-$3000 (supposedly closer to $12000) but I'd love to build this:

15dB 5.15ghz pc with 4-way SLI.

[Almercenary]

This shit

CA-LEEN with gold and black.  Would have been even better with purple and black 

[mikeangeles 75]

Not really looking for a balls to the walls ultra rig, so this is my dream rig. I can only dream, but I do have the 3770K.

How did you get those monitors for that price? They are usually ~$300?

Dell Outlet (refurbished) with a 30% off code. I picked up 6 total. Got a call to confirm the quantity. Lady sounded shocked when I said it was a personal purchase and not business.

[Yoinkerman]

Honestly I want a rgb backlit tenkeyless blue switch keyboard that's just a plain keyboard, no stupid macro keys or that crap.  I want to be able to have my keyboard and mouse on the same level, not offset like they are now with the keyboard in the tray and the mouse on the top of the desk.

 

That plus what I have now.

[Tea1337]

My dream build? A one with the specs in my sig but fully water cooled in a heavily modded 900D

[EvilLemur]

i would like to have a dream build im thinking maybe a 386dx, with a voodoo graphics card. who could ask for more?!?

What is your dream build? Take your time

 

The build I got is all I really want. I guess I could add more hard drive space since I got only 60 gb free space remaining. and I could upgrade the GPU when I find a game it doesn't max out at 1080p

 

I might just add some water cooling or something, but that's about that. (will need a watercool supported case then though.)

[ThorBuildingLegos]

Dual CPU mobo, Xeon processors, two nvidia GPUs for gaming and two ATI GPUs for OpenCL stuff (so it can run constantly without interruption and without ruining my gaming experience when I'm constantly folding@home), 32GB of CL9 ECC memory, 2x Samsung Evo 840 500GB SSDs running in raid 0, 4x 3TB HDDs running in raid 0, all submerged in to a mineral oil reservoir, complete with large radiator that fits the side of the reservoir, making a partly seethrough but also partly black (radiator) exterior that forms a neat and fancy computer case.

[felixbearpig]

i would say, specs wise, the build in my sig but i wish i did a cleaner job with the acrylic tubing

[Advent]

How's the quality? Also warranty?
