[TimTheEnchantor]

[Ravendust]

DDR2 :D, and who the hell needs 16GB of RAM!? How could you possibly connect them all?

[Jesus]

16 Pioneer 50" gas-plasma PDP-502MX screens ($20,000ea. )
I hope you like your screens dying every 4 years..

[DragonDude]

What the heck is this for? A military command center? o_O

[Soulicro]

a million dollar computer... what, you expect it to suck? have fun with it, let me know how Half Life 2 runs.

:P

[Ravendust]

I think we should add parts to it to make it a nice round million.

BTW, your comp can run HL2 well, my comp can run HL2 well, print things, and send faxes...and it didn't even break £1000 ;)

take a look at that.

[Morpherex]

He doesnt even have it, guys.

[Prozac]

850 Watt psu seems a bit weak...

[Phil]

Multiboot configuration with FreeBSD, Linux and Windows 2000 $2,000.00

Windows 2000 is $2,000? So that's what the 2000 stands for.

[Jayster]

my specs are:

Windows XP Pro
64 bit AMD Athlon xp 3200+ 2.2GHz
1022 Ram (DDR400 3200)
60GiG HD
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
Blue Yonder 768kbs connection

and that is excellent for me, /\ is going over the top, what happens if u spend 1 million buying that bloody thing, then it fries after a couple of days? how pissed will you be :fight::P

[Jesus]

or even, spend that much on it, to find that in a years time, jo bloggs down the road spent $3000 on a machine thats technically more updated :P

[Ravendust]

You must need a higher PSU to power that rig, try something around 16000 :p
