lol "dream computer" eh? that is definetely a computer geek thing to do. but don't worry i'm a geek too...and proud of it!
back in '95 my dream comp was a Pentium 133 MHz with 32MB of RAM, 2 GB hard drive, and a 28.8 modem. boy, how things have changed! nowadays i haven't really been keeping track but i'd have to say my dream comp would be similiar to ravdude's.

The best commercial graphics card, ICANT REMEMBER THE NAME (ARGHH), was like well good. It had 1gig of video ram and 32 Voodoo 3 chips or something like that and it also had the function where you could linnk 2 of them together for twice the power!! It also happened to cost about $100,000! or somethng like that

through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will-
ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert."

er
181.6GB ULTRA 160 WIDE SCSI, 160MB/SEC 7200rpm Seagate Baracuda
and as said before Klipsch ProMedia
for the P3 ...hmm would do the newer one instead -- the 2.2Ghz Sock 478 CPU (dual ofcourse) Pioneer DVR-A03 DVD Recorder 100/1000 Intel NIC
for Video GeForce 4 -- screw ATI
Overclock the CPU to about 2.6 Ghz each
for cooling Water Cooling would do the trick

HD : $1400
Speaker : $400
DVD-Rec : $400
NIC : $150
Video Card : $550
