If you won the mega lottery-

[JDregius]

Start a Gaming Club, with a uber 5V5 setup as well as 4 person gaming tables. 

but first id walk into a Mcdonalds and order every single burger they have in stock. and just destroy my arteries in 3 hours.

invest in property to rent out then live a life of mcdonalds eating gaming luxury  

Oh i would also buy a few new pets, maybe a pair of crocodiles and make a maaassive enclosure for them 
I am not a person who likes reality.....
 

[Stigs]

I would buy parts to make a mega overkill PC.  I would buy Sony and Microsoft and merge the companies so they make one console just to piss off the fanboys (or possibly make them happy, who knows).  I would use my money to buy enough gold to melt down into an awesome PC case.....probably would short everything out, but it would look cool, and yeah...that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[Yummychickenblue]

Only 2 would be able to sli, and Linux would only recognize 4, windows 3. Do it anyway just to piss people off.

He can use them all the extra cards as compute/physx cards.

[Norwegiantweaker]

I would die 

[Misanthrope]

I'd live like 90% of it to my son and just drink myself to death, Leaving las vegas style.

[Forcebreaker]

This is a thread to post what you'd do tech wise if you suddenly ran into hundreds of millions worth of cash. 

I'll start. Here's what I'd do. 

 

1.I'd build an atom itx machine in a case labs TX10 case. 

 

2. I'd make and sell a custom  PC that has a built in firewall. Instead of blocking the content, the PC will simply catch on fire. 

 

3. I'd buy 5 razer mice so I could have a naga that still works at the end of the year.

 

4. It's time to 1up those making PC cases look like cars. I will make a car that looks like a PC case. 

 

5. I'd buy an xbone and ps4 and even though I'm a multi-millionaire still regret the investment. 

 

6. I'd buy a mac pro. I'd take the cover off, cover the hole in the bottom, and use it as a trash can, then toss the rest of the mac in it. Not a bad case, it's just a trash can, and should be used as such. 

 

7. I'd buy steam and make all games mac only. Yah know, just to start the flame war of the century. 

 

 

What tech related things would you do with insane amounts of cash? 

 

EDIT-Please, PC related 

Just occured to me: You could make a 4in1 computer inside TX10 for lan parties . Get it, 4 pcs, 1 case..

You know how to party.

[ohJey]

Retire before working a day in my life

 

Buy some land for a dirtbike track

buy a racebike

build a car (likely a chevelle)

pay off my parents house

[Jumper118]

i would sit by a fire that's burning $100 bills. then put nitro fuel, petrol and some tyres on it. and buy a grumpy cat and a koenigsegg and a veyron ss and most other cars.

[Sharif]

Invest the money for more money 

[Appelzaadje]

Well lets say I win 100 Million Pounds....say 5% interest rate (so 105 Million in 1 year) Daily interest is £13,698.63. EVERY DAY

 

 

Seeing as my current job is £16,500... I basically earn my current yearly wage, every day

 

 

:'( I made myself sad

5% intresst omg wich bank is that we can only get 1,5 or something like that a year.

[ericlee30]

Well since we all know that senior citizens are the only ones that ever win the lottery, I know this is very unlikely, but I would try and buy a major PC component company.

[Appelzaadje]

Lol'd at number 5

 

 

But seriously If I win I wouldn't buy a quad titan setup asap, I'd start my own PC Hardware shop so that way I can always have the latest products and be able to sell them. 

i would like my own shop just to be able to tell my customers what idiots they are when they send money to "Microsoft" to unlock there computer

[DeViLzzz]

If I won a mega lottery tech wise I would definitely start my own computer store and have extremely affordable pcs geared for gamers being sold for next to no profit.  I would also have a gaming themed store with LAN party all set up.  64 pcs minimum for LAN/online gaming.  I would also have a crazy LAN/online area in my home.  I also would buy the latest pc gear for my home for my home.  I definitely would have as good a 4K setup each for my son, daughter and me.  I also would look at building my own movie theatre although it would not be on the up and up.

 

[yurihellsing]

1st thing pay to have the research that'll turn off the ageing process turned off then get mine turned off

2nd full organ replacement since i can wait till they can be grown in a lab

3rd start a Casino to keep more and more money coming in.

4th commission the building of a U-boat that can beach it's self for allowing cars to be driven on/off

5th Homes in or near every Major city in the world.

[Sheldon_King]

Hmm... Good question.  Assuming it is say $100 Million USD before tax, and assuming say 50% income tax on it (just a guess.) that leaves 50 Million. So, $50.0M ->

 

Buy a house in Wilson, NC*  -Lets say... $100,000 MAX (don't need much space)    $49.9M left

furniture and teh like:  -$20,000 max maybe?  -$49.88M left

Gun: 7.62/.30, rifle -$3000 maybe** $49.877M left.

Electronics: $130,000 GUESS. *** $49.747M left

New truck (hire a driver!): $50,000 (guess) $49.657M left 

Medical equipment: $30,000 Guess $49.627M left.

Donate to worthys: $1.627M  $48M left

 

Live life at $50,000 per year for ~960 years. lol.  Guess I don't know how to spend money?

 

* Resaoning: GB up and down internet! http://www.greenlightnc.com/about/internet/

** Depends on which to choose. Shot a K98 and a Mosin before, liked the K98, but supply is low in these parts, so a new bolt/semi might be necessary.

*** http://www.thinkmate.com/system/gpx-xt6-2460-8gpu/61269 $23,000 + http://www.thinkmate.com/system/stx-je90-0410/61270 $73,000 + http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure%281,249,0%29ec >$2100 + All Televisions, necessary networking equipment, phones, and the like.

[Syntaxvgm]

Just occured to me: You could make a 4in1 computer inside TX10 for lan parties . Get it, 4 pcs, 1 case..

It's about sending a message and wast ing a case!

Really though you could fit a good cluster in that case. 

Pretty certain that thing is a lot bigger than 4 cases. 

[Real_PhillBert]

priorities

[Pacioli]

I would just sit on the chedda.  Live off the interest.  Ball when I need to ball.  I am not looking to build an empire or have a palace in the sky.  Just an existance without worry where when I want to disappear I can and when I want to be on stage the lights come on.

[Myxzoid]

I would buy EA and drive it into the ground like they did with other gaming compines over the years!

[Trik'Stari]

I would buy the following companies and erase their existence:

Apple

Xbox

Sony's gaming division

domino's (don't ask)

Ford

progressive insurance, id also issue an enormous bounty on flo's head

I would also bribe every member of congress to retire, and would find a way to shut down both the Democrat and Republican parties for eternity.

I would buy Nintendo, stop all console production, and make them a PC game dev for eternity (first release would be an exact remake of OoT using the Skyrim engine. I would also remove all days from the calendar that aren't Friday Saturday or Sunday.

my last act would be to outlaw all conservation laws, and make colonization of other planets top priority. Also stupidity would be illegal, as would improper wearing of both pants and hats. Also I would establish an organization dedicated to breeding as many redheaded women as possible.

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I would buy a mini horse and mini saddle to ride him around with money spilling out of my undies.
