@sam9s
there is currently no 500 GB 15krpm HDDs. Its only upto 120 and 120 seems to have some kinda problem and 80 has best perfomance/quality.

ATI's R600 beats 8800GTX anytime.
So graphics: ATi R600 Dual GPU cards x2 in Crossfire. [Each R600 dual GPU card beats 2x8800GTX in SLI by big margin].
My choice of RAM: Corsair Dominator series 1366 MHZ DDR2 in dual ch-4GB.
Sound Card- Xmeridian 8386 7.1(Beats Xfi Elite pro in sound quality).
Clipsch 7.1 speakers.
Falcon Northwest 21" TFT
Agiea PHYSICS card(most of you forgot it)
Falcon Northwest's vapour cooling kit for CPU, GPU.(keeps at -12c)
Sony BlueRay Writer.
Logitech G15 keyboard and Razer Diamondback mouse with mantis speed mousepads.
Antec Perfomance TX trans chassis.
Antec 1KW PSU.
Holographic projector(project images in air) for 3D gameplay.
Vista Ultimate originals.
All Games original.
[deamon tools-i dun like to put disc while playing]
This is my todays dream.
My dream goes on updating every day:D

hey brother..... what a gr8 config of urs.. the pic of ur dream pc is very good i must say...... btw i wud like to ask u that on which motherboard we can put 16GB of memory.... u haven't mentioned it n also mention the price of ur Dream PC.....

Just click on that tower. You'll get all your answers. :D
Clicking on the display will take you to the page about the display, not the computer itself.

The motherboard, AFAIK, is manufactured by Apple in-house and you cannot buy it off the shelf. You need to buy a machine from Apple.
And you cannot assemble this machine yourself. It is a pre-assembled machine from Apple and the greatest thing about it is not the hardware, which is pretty awesome too, but the operating system it runs, Mac OS X - the best operating system on the planet. You cannot get that on a regular PC. :D

Click on that picture or this one:

Can I have some space for a LIQUID COOLING KIT?

Hitachi has 1 TB HDD (I read somewhere), why not fit a few of them!

aryayush #26
Mar 6, 2007 at 1:54 PM
This thing does not even have a fan. It is cooled without a fan. It is as silent as a mouse. That is Apple engineering for you. :D

And it can have 3 terabytes of storage. Do you want more?

A 1080p HD projector is nowhere near running dual 30" 2536*1600 (or somewhere there) monitors together...

Anyway, all I want is a 'really' quiet, non-troublesome, easy-to-use, fast, large-screen, elegant machine.....and whoops! I just have to walk into my room and there it is!!!

Mar 7, 2007 at 3:15 AM
Siggy don't allow for too much words so I decided on going with the PC cause its got the bigger screen and my speakers...

HD movies are restricted to PC. I used to watch them on the iMac but I can't resist the bigger screen and better speakers.

iMac is strictly for work stuff...
