If you won the lottery what would your dream pc be


Recommended Posts

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)

What can i say i love both intel and AMD

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
