Screw the PC, id retire and buy myself a bigass boat.

now THAT is a wise decision....me too

if I only won a couple million, I'd get a 40' Donzi -- if it were $100,000,000 or more -- I'd get an 80' Magnum with twin Pratt & Whitney turbine jet engines :D (cost: $12,000,000)

I would make a datacenter, where money is still coming in.

I'd do something like that. If I won enough I'd get a high speed fiber line to the house.

A friend and her husband run their own ISP and when I went to visit many years ago they had 12 OC-3 lines running to the barn behind their house. The have grown a lot since then and moved the majority of the operation off their property to a former store in a small town near them. They still maintain one OC-3 at their house.

I'd look into something like that.

I'd build at least a couple systems. One could run off the MB graphics and sound, it would just be used as a server. The other system would be quad core, probably a pair of VisionTek 4870 X2 video cards with 2 Gig DDR5 each. I'd go with a couple good size hard drives to start. 8 Gig of memory. Get a 28" or 30" high level monitor for graphics work. My existing 22" I have could be used as a second monitor...use it to put the tools on like in Photoshop. Of course the best DVD at the time. Then again, if money was no object I'd get an LCD graphics tablet. My plans for a remote water cooling system would get built. I already have it figured out how to put the radiator, fans and pump below me in an always cool part of my basement....usually about 65 F (18.3 C). The poured concrete wall is cooler, 60 F (15.6 C), I could mount everything on that wall. I'd have no fans running in the case. The complete server could go in the basement right below me.
