well. i got bored at work today and i decided to build a computer i cant afford. one so fast and rediculusely(sp?) opowerful its pointless. read on! all items have links to view them also:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium 195.00

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 FX55 San Diego Build 821.00

Graphics Card: ASUS En6800-Ultra x2 699.00x2

RAM: Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO x2 220.00x2

Harddrives: Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB SATA-150 x4 175.00x4

Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro 213.99

Power Supply: Antec Truecontrol II-550 119.00

CD/DVD ROM: ASUS IDE DVD-ROM 26.50

CD/DVD Burner: ASUS IDE DVD Burner 53.99
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Price: 3957.48
Shipping: 61.60

Total: 4132.48

haha it wins... im not sure if this the REAL price because they didnt have 4 Hardrives of the same type on hand. so i just tacked on another 175.00 for the HD. but yeah this is basicly the fastest gaming machine available at the moment. i could have gone faster if there was a website that had 2 ASUS EN7800GTX's GPU's available but they arent for sale yet(this is actually better than the ASUS En6800-Ultra)

so i want to build this but u know...the money thing seems to be a major player in this. hmm computer or car....computer or car.....god i want that computer! i hope everyone is as stunned as i am in how powerful computers are now.

and yes i thought of dual 940 pin opterons on a server board running SLI but its REALLY hard to configure. also i wasnt sure if the MoBo i got came with a RAID controller pre installed or if i had to get a separate one. if i need a separate RAID card, it would be around another 600-800 bucks tacked on to the already overly high price tag. and YES these are warehouse direct prices... ^_^ time to dream and druel extensively

this does not include any case lighting or the case for that matter! i didnt include the case because that is something that only the one who buys a computer can choose. also all the cables used would be SATA blue, sheathed if Molex, and rounded for IDE.

i couldnt find a case that would house my 4 HD's and everything....if it was me, i would have thrown another 100-200 dollars into it in just lighting and case mods alone. i am all about my Blue!!! also i didnt do any case fans or anything because i ran out of time and i wanted to go Liquid Cooled. when i get home and i do some searching i wll edit this to include cables, case, lighting, and the liquid cooling accessories

i didnt buy it and i was playing around at newegg.com seth where do you go for stuff?

i just went with newegg because they are pretty cheap and its all from the same place.

actually on my real computer i just bought more LED stuff that took forever to install. its not that it was hard, its just proper wire management is KEY! so far i have 5 LED fans. 2 are a constant BLUE, while 2 others blink 1,2,3,4, all, all, repeat BLUE, then 1 tri color. only 3 run at a time, the other 2 only turn on once i hit 30 celsius. then i have 3 blue LED cathodes that light up the inside really nice, and 2 LED cannons with 3 LED's on them. BLUE of course.

im gonna buy this power supply with the Blue, UV reactant sheaths and box. and im also gonna buy some Blue Molex LED's for all my connectors.

then eventually liquid cooling, but for now Lighting is a must. it will only be another like 100 bucks in total if i add in 2 more LED cannons...

i know i know....im a case mod Whore
