Oh, come on, you all saw it coming.

Question: Why not the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB? It's only an extra $2400 or so?

I think I would get about the same system, though. :p I like the look, I like the horsepower.

Not sure I would go with the same OS, though...

I wonder how well it would run crysis?
The Roadrunner uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux along with Fedora as its operating systems
Something tells me that it wouldn't run Crysis. At all. :whistle:

If I win the lottery a PC is the last thing I'll buy. I'll get a house, an awesome car, a house for my mom, travel to all the countries I want to visit then when I get back I'll get a Mac Pro with everything :p

Sorry. Linux user here.

(no, that is not "sorry Linux user here" with "sorry" used as an adjective) :ermm:

About as "gamer" as I get are the UT2k4 and Doom3 Demo (it wasn't enjoyable enough for me to want to buy) on my Linux box.

I'd buy a 2000$ price range computer, should run all the games at max graphics for the next 3 years.

My goal would be to have no moving parts WHATSOEVER (except CD/DVD/Blu-ray). Passively cooled power supply, flash Hard drives and the rest would all be in a case filled with cooking oil.

As for a laptop, I'd buy the PS3 laptop. I'm not sure where I could find it though, and I don't know how much whoever has it would want for it. I know its heavy, hot, and power hungry, but I'm really not satisfied with today's other mobile gaming solutions, so I'd be interested.

Uhh... $2000 wont get you crap -- many people have $2000 invested in one of their computers and still cant max Crysis out.... hell, I think the onlycomputer in the universe that can max Crysis out is online right now over @ CERN getting ready to smash some subatomic particles and create a blackhole in the middle of Switzerland which will gobble up all of the dark matter and cause a massive chain reaction which will turn every atom in the universe into the same nasty black hole...

well, thats just my crazy opinion....I could be wrong :blush:

ALienware ? oh god no -- I had one - and hated the entire year I had it until I sold it to my brother-in-law who thinks its great......LOL SUCKER !

If i won the lottery I might get a laptop to keep in touch as I travel around the world but thats about it. No super computer for me, I want to have fun with my money and not spend too much time on a computer. I would also take monthly payments for about X-amount of years and not some huge lump sum. I might go crazy with all that money at once. I would also invest some of it.

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
