Ultimate Dream Computer

[Chubtoad]

The Ultimate Computer:
One that runs on my brain.

yeah we could go into specs, but you're brain would over power it. Would just need terabyte ethernet to send it to a monitor, actually just install projectors in your eyes!!!!

Its been a bit of time since anyone's replied to this...but i really like the sony vaio. I'd beef it up with as much memory and speed as possible...22 inch lcd...i'd only use it for music and video editing (haha...i know that fits in the mac category but i'd rather stick to pc).

I'd take either the high-end laptop or desktop from L.

Those Go-L computers are miserable. Blech.

I'd like an Athlon64 3400+, a Matrox Parhelia, 3 21" Samsung Syncmasters. It'd be nice to have no wires at all. Wireless monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse, wireless speakers, bluetooth printer. It'd be nice if games would span two monitors. That'd be awesome.

I must say I'm relatively happy with my XP3000+ and radeon 9700 pro. The only upgrades I'd really like to do is double the RAM to put a gig in it and upgrade to a 9800xt. I won't be doing that for a while, though.

Return to Castle Wolfenstien will give you perifial vison using three monitors with the Parhelia. Or maybe it was some other game, but there are definatly games that will span three screens.

My XP 1800+ still putzes along just fine.

How many of you have played with Windows NT on an Alpha? They were amongst the most amazing systems ever. I had the chance to play with one for a while, and very few systems I have seen were as responsive as that one.

Personally, I am very happy with my current system, while its not a "dream" system. Those who know much of computers will be amused, as it is a Pentium 166MHz, mmx system, 64mb of pc66, and 19.2gb of disk space. And did I mention the Radeon 7500 and the SB Audigy? =)

It works for what I use it for - and can even run Inventor and Jedi Knight at reasonable speed. But it is not an Alpha, which would qualify as a dream system.

get rid of that mouse...I cant stand wireless...it stops your gaming after a few hours! So no more of them 12 hour days on the computer.

My MX700 batteries last for over 24 hours of normal use. I also have dozens of other recharable double-a batteries floating around and a spare wireless mouse that can use the MX700's base station receiver. I'm am so well-prepared
