If you won the lottery what would your dream pc be

[Mouldy Punk]

I'd probably buy a medium-high range computer and just upgrade it more often. Reason being, Buy a top of the range super dooper PC today, and in a weeks time it'll no longer be top of the range, so you would have spent all that extra money for nothing.

If I win the lottery, it won't make me wasteful.

I'm cheap, but I don't believe in "future-proofing a computer" and I'd wait for Nehalem, because I'm happy with my current laptop. So, I'd save my money :D

Too bad you can't get a higher end Gfx card, Quad SLI while your at it, and you forgot blu-ray to future proof hehe

[tsupersonic]

Trying to "Future proof" is a big waste of money on either Mac or PC.

It's not really future proofing when the technology is current... like Blu-Ray.. if you can afford it might as well get it over a straight out DVD player...

[Galley]

The most expensive Mac Pro made, with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. :cool:

[PiracyX]

Whatever is the extreme top end components out at the time i win the lottery.

[Lasker]

I will buy the most expensive Mac Pro in the World + The Most Expensive Cinema Display + AppleCare for life :laugh:

[C++]

Looks like a bunch of people already beat me to it... If I won the lottery, I wouldn't give a flying crap! Though eventually I would probably get an absolute top of the line ThinkPad, like I am running now. Or a real nice stationary display like a 24" Apple Cinema (I've worked with plenty of 30" ones and the neck strain is terrible). As far as actual PC specs, who cares? Anything you get today is already old tomorrow, and it's long since even the most basic of computers can easily do 90% of what they're used for. Do I really need 128 cores to listen to an MP3 or check my email? Or even play games?

[BlackSteyrAug]

VoodooPC Envy and Omen - With the best specs of course.

Or just buy the best and make it myself cause it's fun :p So what If I mess up, buy more stuff, hah.

Having realized what I just said, I'd open an advanced savings account for the rest of my life. And buy a PC with my hard earned cash.

[bloodrain]

better question is, why would you waste the money on a killer pc with no games to play?

[Mando]

better question is, why would you waste the money on a *killer pc* with no games to play?

Is that a typo I think you meant *PS3* didnt you?

PCs (Personal Computers) can do so much more, not all of us are gaming only, some of us need high end PCs to create productive things e.g. music creation, graphic artwork, 3D graphic work for your games, the list is endless mate.

Me personally I wouldnt have 1 killer pc id have every room kitted out with media stations (gaming capable also for when my mates are round for some housewide lan gaming ;))big tfts or hd projectors same tunes piped throughout the house and a central server controlling all aspects, from lighting, email web proxy etc etc to security systems, and an acoustic free digital studio room but im a tech/synth freak so......:p

@C++ I get where your coming from on 30"s the largest I can tolerate without strain is a pair of 28"s on my workstation desk @work. I had to turn the brightness down to minimal because I felt I had rosy cheeks or sunburn! lol

[sanctified Veteran]

What about whatever comes after Blu-Ray? Blu-Ray hasn't really even taken off yet, but that's another debate.

Look at the current gen of Intel processors - penryn. Pretty soon Nelahelm will be coming out, and already your technology is outdated. You can go on with graphics cards. Sure, technology always changes.

lol! i liked what u had before the edit :shifty:

[CrashG]

lol! i liked what u had before the edit :shifty:

Me too, it was more honest. :p

[gwai lo]

:p lol it came out more inflammatory than I wanted.

[wrack]

If I won a lottery I would go on a vacation where I don't need a computer!

[pyehac]

All I need is a better graphics card for my current rig.

And a 42" LCD TV...

... and a bigger desk

... and better sound insulation

... oh, and more hard drive space (can't get enough hard drive space)

[White Cuban]

if i won the lottery, i'd buy a couple of mercanery's, open a cult, and overthrow the current regine.

[S7un7]

Hahaha, I wouldn't need a computer. My life would be a video game.
