I bet if I converted the cost of my rig into American dollars it would be more than 3K, so discounting the ridiculous like supercomputing clusters and plasma monitors as big as your house, I think i already have my dream machine:
- Q6600 overclocked to 3.4Ghz on all cores. I reckon a faster processor is not available for the PC.
- 4GB of DDR2 overclocked to ~945Mhz.
- 8800GT not overclocked - it doesn't need it.
- 22" LCD monitor.
- all the trimmings.
So what about if we don't discount the ridiculous?
This would be quite nice... 1.344 TFLOPs per rack...
