What's your dream setup?

Mine is:

CPU-i7 3960X
GPU- 2xTitan
Case- An old radio with enough room to sit the motherboard tray
Cooler-Custom Liquid setup built into whatever the radio is sitting on. It'll have one of my nanoparticle dispersions for improved cooling vs water.
Monitor-3X 1080p projectors disguised into the wall so I can have a stylish an unobtrusive system.
Sound- Disguised surround sound system.

All I need is $10k and a house with a living room wall big enough to pull it off. So, not gonna happen. I will be doing the radio thing next time I build a PC though since it sounds like a fun project.

The actual hardware of the build isn't that important as it constantly changes as new hardware is released. But I would like to have a system built into a closet or small room, so that it feels like a cockpit that I close myself in as I sit as my desk. I would also like to have the computer connected to all the TV's in the house and have a surround sound system set up though out the house connected to it. That way I can watch my movies and listen to my music anywhere in the house. This would also mean I would want a mouse/KB in each room so that I can access my music and movies in any room. Basically, I want a computer that is fully integrated into my house.

Take my 3930k setup w/ 32 gig ram, replace the 7950s with a GTX titan or two, shrink the whole thing down to a mac mini form factor and have it idle at 40w.

And it would stay whisper quiet even under full load and nothing would ever go over 50c.

. . hey. . you said "fantasy"

[CG Chicken Kn]

Call Digital Storm. Send them $15,000, and tell them to go nuts.
Since I'm not real comfortable building multi loop custom cooling set ups.

With enough ssd drive space so as to not have a platter drive, except as a back up.
Then game across triple 1440p monitors.

[Dragoon20005]

Yea Digital Storm can make you a PC with 3 way SLi with the GTX Titans with i7 Core Extreme and their custom cooling


but then again whats the best PC without this? rocking in a cockpit with force feedback( knockbacks etc) and surround sound

I WANT A HOLODECK!! dammit safety off for mechs, but pilots take no physical damage. **It would probably require its own skyscraper full of XEON servers on each floor but it would be badass as anything I can think of.

[Catamount]

Yep, Smokey's got it. If we're fantasizing, then forget quaint PC towers and monitors. I want me a holodeck.

[ArmageddonKnight]

Pritty much what i got now but with some improvments.

Change my 1080p 42" screen to the upcoming Asus 39" 4khd (UltraHD)screen (i plan on doing this anyway)
Change my GTX 780 for 3x GTX Titans (im going 2x 780's within a year)
Change my air cooling to custom water loop. (maybe in 2 years time i will anyway)
Up my CPU OverClock to 5ghz (again in 2 years time)
Change my 128gb SSD to 2x 512GB SSD's in raid0.
Maybe upgrade my motherboard to somthing right at the top of the line for for those top end overclocks.
And just for kicks, buy the Cyborg STRIKE 9 keyboard

MAYBE the Oculus Rift + Gaming seat. (depends on the Oculus Rift's final resolution, atm its to low)

And cause of a series of accident's, i didn't have money for a long time. Now i do again, just bought this new rig, and i'm finallt gonna get the chance to play MWO, for the first time

[ASSASSYN X]

My fantasy build is sitting in my computer room.

[Tannhauser Gate]
