I got this idea from talking about a 10Gb network with a few guys on this forum, my idea is to imagine what you "Dream" PC would be and then tell us, I thought it would be kinda cool so see different sides to the world of PC's without actually having to build them, don't get me wrong I love reading about peoples builds but this was just a spot for people to spec out and list what they would want there PC to be, it doesn't even have to be a gaming PC, it could be a Video editing rig, a file server, video capture PC, what ever pops into your head, I am just interested in seeing what guys would want, and people could just have a good time doing it, One thing though I want to see a PC that could be built with parts that are available today,

 

Just to get things started, I will list what I want, First a Gaming PC then a File Server, 

 

Gaming PC, 

 

Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79

 

CPU: Intel i7 3960x

 

RAM: Corsair CMP32GX3M4X1600C10 x 2

 

SSD: Intel SSDSA2CW600G3K5 320 600GB x 8

 

Raid Controller: Adaptec 2270200-R 6445

 

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i CP-9020008-NA x 2

 

GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7970 x 2

 

NIC: Emulex OCE11102-NT

 

Case: Case Labs MAGNUM M8 Case with additional pieces

 

Also I would do a custom water cooling job on this system, I'm just to lazy to spec out that...

 

Total:  W/O Tax $13556.44 

           W TAX $15318.7772

(Canada, 13cents to the dollar)

(Also W/O Shipping)

 

 

For the File Server

 

Case: Norco RPC-4224 24

 

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LX Intel 7

 

RAM:Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

 

CPU:Intel Core i5-3570K

 

Drives: Intel SSDSA2CW600G3K5 320 600GB x 12

            WD Red 3TB NAS Hard Drive x 12

 

Raid Controller: not yet determined.....

 

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i CP-9020008-NA 

 

NIC: Emulex OCE11102-NT

 

Total: W/O Tax $16369.4

          W Tax $18497.422

 

(Canada, 13cents to the dollar)

(Also W/O Shipping)

 

 

Grand total: 

    W/O Tax: $29925.84

    W Tax: $33816.19

 

So you can see that I have very high hopes... With that type of money I could buy a car... Oh well that is the point of this, to dream about what system you want, 

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Nathan

This, but with the new Ive-E Extreme CPU, and everything watercooled with a 480+280mm RAD

So if you add all that total cost will be a bit over $10000 O_O

A custom ALL white motherboard from msi probably a mpower caliber board

 

a i7 extreme edition ivybridge E

 

custom water cooling

 

Nas of like 20 3 tb hdd

 

4 titans or 780s

 

Obsidian 900d white specialy made

 

128gb of 3000mhz ram

 

2000w psu.

 

total: ALOT

i5 3570 | MSI GD-65 Gaming | OCZ Vertex 60gb ssd | WD Green 1TB HDD | NZXT Phantom | TP-Link Wifi card | H100 | 5850

No sane or middle class person would ever build this rig.

 

 

youre a delusional kid...

 

 

At that price you might as well get 4 gtx titans and water cool them all

 

 

Not planning for a real build, therefore moved to General Discussion

 

 

Quad Titan, 4960x, DDR3-2400 Gskill 64 GB, the yadda yadda. 

 

HA ! I totally forgot about this ! lol, Thanks for all the replys
