If you could afford ANY computer...

[Quadtrix]

What would you buy? For me, I'd buy an iMac. That's what they have at my Graphic Communications lab at school, and I love them. Mac OS X Leopard, 1TB Hard Drive, 4GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 9400 graphics card, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, etc. That thing is a beast!

 

[Nargleblarg]

I won't go into the whole scematics let's just say if it could play crysis at full power it's be good enough for me.

 

[Sparrow]

An Xbox 360 Computer.

Simply for the lulz.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

Dude.. You can have ANY computer, and you choose a Mac? I would definitely choose some computer which NASA uses, or another company with high workload. Those things cost millions and more. I can always sell it for a gaming PC...

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I'd have a supercomputer that can play Crysis at full graphics without breaking a sweat. Oh with a giant moniter and shitloads of memory.

 

[Quadtrix]

@S.H.A.R.P.

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy a gaming PC first and save all that remaining money for something else?

 

[milkoy]

I'd have one of those Macs for recording. Like the 15 grand ones.

Yeah, I mean if breaks the petraflop barrier it has to be very useful to me... Right? Guys...?

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

A black Aurora? from Alienware.

I needs me a gaming PC.

 

[Skeleon]

Earth.
What?
Earth is a computer.
Look it up in the Hitchhiker's Guide.

 

[veloper]

I can already afford any PC.

I still buy performance/mainstream. High-end isn't worth the money.

 

[InProgress]

The best BOXX there is on the market! Actually, make that two of them.

I only found some specs for the 4800 series. I want the 8500 series or the 10300 series!

The 4800, a weak one:

WS DUAL XEON E5420 2.50GHz, 12MB cache, 1333 MHz FSB (Quad-Core)
4GB FBDIMM DDR2 800 REG ECC (2 - 2GB FBDIMMS)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 512MB
250GB 7,200rpm SATA
20X Dual Layer DVD-RW Writer

 

[Goldeneye103X2]

A super computer that could play games easily.

If you could have any computer, you'd get something with a Core2Duo and a low end graphics card? Someone has very low aspirations.

I'd get something beastly and quad-sli.

I'd get in touch with a friend with Groovy Pants and get him to guide me in the direction of awesome PC ness, since I have no clue.

 

[Cowabungaa]

No one wants a quantum computer? Shame, modern computers pale in comparison with the potential of quantum computing.

*Snip*

How pissed would you be if you got that tower, then ten years later it was surpassed by cellphones?
