What Would Be Your Dream Machine?
isaachulvey asks: "If you could put together your dream machine with any components you want, what would it be? Obviously price is not a factor here or we'd all be putting together 800 MHz systems with 128 MB of RAM. This is your dream machine, so be creative, go as over the top as you need, remember overkill is not a crime."
The case would be a beautiful woman.
With 4 gigs of RAM.
Is a Beowulf cluster of whatever comes in second place.
I realize there's a long queue, but how many years ago was this question submitted?
Where the hell is the "-1 Creepy" mod?

Can we pick two? I'd take a core 2 quad pc with two GeForce 8800GTX in SLi, and maybe a few drives in 0+1 raid. Custom built of course.
Then perhaps a closet full of dual-processor quad-core blade servers for password cra^W^W helping out folding@home or something.
we're sorry you've lost your memory.
If Bush wants to kill the terrorists, he should jump off a cliff.
'nuff said!
I want a machine with an original Pentium I processor (you know the one). Put that together with like 16MB of differently spec'd RAM (2-8s or 4-4s) on a mobo with capacitors circa 2001, and an IBM DeskStar 75GXP hard drive. Oh, and it should be running WinME. That's like a dream come true...
This guy's the limit!
Go max out a Mac Pro on Apple's site... it's $20k.
Pfffft. Lemme know when you get it up to $640k. That oughta be enough for anyone...
This guy's the limit!
I'm absolutely certain that my circa-1991 IBM PS/1 is completely supported by Linux. 25MHz 486SX, 20MB RAM, 129MB hard drive, and a 2400 baud modem in the ISA slot.
I'll trade you for whatever partially incompatible hardware you've got today, since you don't care about the specs.
I used to get high on life, but I developed a tolerance. Now I need something stronger.
But it had only 64KB of'em, which surely wasn't enough for everyone!

About the only things you're missing are the USB-attached crotch kicker and keyboard with random TASER capability.
Ignore anything I said above, I actually agree with everything you believe - mod accordingly.
You spent forty four thousand, four hundred fourty two dollars, with no less than eight hard drives, forty-eight gigs of ram, and three years of onsite gold enterprise level support... But you cheaped out on the DVD drive?
Man, spend the extra twenty bucks!
The ______ Agenda
Couldn't you just cut out the middleman and turn dirt into the commercial goods you seek? Take that, tax!
...that regardless of specs, this dream machine will have to have a vagina.
you know, now that I'm reading my post, fuck it. :-)
/. is afraid I'm spamming.
I want a functional quantum computer and a spaceship with warp 9.9 speed.
