Id arrange by price highest first, then select the most expensive item and how many of it i need, no real need to look at what im buying. Im a millionaire.

 

[Orford]

tbh if I won the lottery, being sat at a PC is the last thing i'll be doing.

Nah you'd have to go to PC world for that kind of product. Come out with a £5k Dell

 

[V|per]

It's all depend, i'd quite hapily dump a load on a few choice machines.

HTPC - fully gaming compatible, but in the nicest looking case possible.

Couple of data servers too, with money being no issue, i'd end up using some kind of super raid card with just the best possible SSD's inside rather than using any mechanical drives.

Gaming rig: well, i'd have to build 4: 2 insane desktops one for me, one for the missus), fully watercooled, custom cases, or at least custom sprayed/anodised/powder coated or something, they would have to be increadibly aesthetically pleasing, all hardware matchign up, loads of extra bits inside to make it look unified - ie, pcb colouring, every light matching, custom replaced perspex to change lighting if required. 2 more transportable, yet still powerfull and increadibly awesome looking machines for lan parties - have to be showing off!

I reckon i could quite easily dump 100k on the above...

 

[Mr-White]

tbh unless you played online you wouldn't have the funds to build a computer the day after you won and even then they only pay a fraction directly into your account.

[Defconluke]

I'd just go straight to Cray.

 

[Kosmiche]

Should have bought a mac mini

 

[Bromhead]

I'd probably buy just an i5 ivy bundle to go with my current config

 

[ajf]

It would be very tempting to get the best top end system around, water cooling etc. However I am not really a hardcore gamer, so would probably keep my current rig (maybe new monitor) for that and spec up a nice server and network setup and use it for VMWare.
Money could then be spent on decent sound proof cabinet for it!

If I went all the way I could even build a separate server building with aircon and the lot. 100mb leased line
