You're going to get a lot of replys to this thread. /forum/smile.gif Everyone here like to talk about what they have and want, including myself.

My dream machine:
Tyan Thunder Mobo.
2-PIII 550 XEON's
Dual SCSI IBM HD's 18 gig or so for starters.
512MB ECC PC-100 RAM
SoundBlaster Live Value.
Viper V770 Ultra Video
50x CDROM at least
DVD
LS-120 Floppy
Cambridge 4point speakers
21" Monitor
Windows2K (if it'll handle all this)

Hmm. Did I leave anything out, anyone?

Although I just built a new K6-2 450 system 2 months ago, if I were to go hog wild, I'd grab an Athlon 600 w/256Mb RAM (minimum) and all the peripherals MrEd outlined. About the only thing I'd add to the list would be the fastest CD writer I could find. Ahhh, only in my dreams... :-)

Well. Way below the Crays but well above the mainstream, you may want to look at Intergraph's PCs and Workstations. The Z series are nice. The ones with the Wildcats are nicer.

Actually they are all nice.

Nice Bleeding Edge!

Oh, I should get a couple of those too - as workstations...

Money aside, I like Mr Ed system but I would add hot swap features and some form of fault tolerance(raid hardware not software) in case of a crash. The Athlon can be used in a dual processor motherboard in an enterprise version of the chip.Of course, I would add Windows Nt 2000 and Linux or Beos as operating systems. Bleeding Edge, nice taste!I guess I need to send a Christmas' list to Santa.
