That Pioneer DVR-A03 SUCKS!!! The person I just mentioned has something MUCH better!

You should be using 2 HD widescreen monitors that are above 1980 X 1440 resolution. You're forgetting about the backup plan! Get the BEST tape drive around! Make sure ALL audio equipment is THX certified for the highest quality. Also, what about the MINIDV Camera hooked up to the PC with an MPEG-2 card along with (http://www.sonic.com/daikin) SONIC Scenerist (sp?) for DVD production like you've never dreamed of b4!!!

How about some TAG-McLaren Amp's for it, aperently they are quite good, hence the £50,000 price tag!!

yes definitely go with AMD and screw Pentiums...
...also dump the Plextor, i've had 2 and they are pieces of shit. Get a TDK or something instead... but better yet, the DVD burner...

Klipsch setup sounds great... so does dual flat-screens.

**but i would KEEP the 56K modem... have it in addition to your built-in DSL modem.... sometimes DSL service goes down (like mine right now), and you'd be glad you still have a 56K for those emergencies...

I think nitrogen would be better. Or if you rich - Helium.
Plus settelite dish for DL and T3 for upload.

Satellite dish? You mean Europe Online's service? Too bad we in USA can't get it. Shouldn't you get T3 for both? T3's connection speed is up to 44 MBPS!!! What's Satellite's speed?

And how about a webcam so we can brodcast the dream partys from the dream pc!!

I don't know wether it's faster, but sounds cool!

Bah... I'm a geek, an audio enthusiast, a gamer, a trancer, and a dreamer... so this would be MY dream system:


Processor: Dual AMD Athlon XP 2 GHz
Ram: 3.5 GB DDR 266mhz RAM
Hard Drives: x4 300 GB SCSI 10,000 RPM Externals
DVD-RW: Pioneer DVD Burner 4X
DVD-ROM: Pioneer 16x slot (which I already own )
MonitorS: dual NEC Plasma Screens (very expensive) (because one is just not enough with an unlimited budget)... + an NEC Multisync 24" for backup
3COM 1000mbit NIC
Internet Connection: x2 T3
Sound Card 1 (for music / studio use): M-Audio Delta 1010
Sound Card 2 (for games): Soundblaster Audigy
Speaker set 1: Videologic Sirocco Pro's (2.1 system for monitoring)
Speaker set 2: Videologic Digitheatre DTS (5.1 for DVD & Games
Headphones 1 (for DJing): Sennheiser HD25s
Headphones 2 (for studio): Beyerdynamic DT831
Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech's wireless & optical combo

Also... since these 'can' and 'would' be hooked up if I had infinite $$$ for the dream machine... I will add in these:
x2 Technics 1210MKII Turntables
x2 Pioneer CDJ-1000s
x2 Roland DJ-2000 Mixer (so I could have a guest DJing at the same time )
