If you had $50k to build the dream gaming system...

[Tim]

If you were handed $50k to build the absolute dream gaming system, what would you put in it?

I'm considering doing a fun project and am looking to see what type of budget is needed, and potentially what type of sponsors I could get to cover it.

Note: The system must be at or near at the fastest gaming PC in the world.

Note: The system must look extremely sexy.

Note: The system must have a custom built case.

Note: The system is one to be built, not bought from another site.


Ideas?

I'd go more then 6GB of ram, in a system with a $50,000 budget.

Even though they're overpriced, take a look at Falcon Northwest or Alienware's top systems with all the bells and whistles. That gets you a good idea of what you can throw into your own system, if you want the best.

Another note: It *HAS* to be a system that is built from scratch, no using any other website to build the system.

Not even close... lol. I'll keep on updating as I add stuff

Could try going with a 160GB Intel X-25M SSD, possibly 2 or 4 of these in Raid0.
Might want a hardware raid controller if you go with four.

Even if you end up building it yourself, it doesn't hurt to see what the producers of top-end systems are putting into their builds.

50k is overkill.

Pinki can you link everything you have there in seperate links please?

$50k will be pretty easy to reach on a dream system I believe.

Keep the links coming and ideas as well!
