If I had a million dollars I'd probably only spend 5000 on a computer

If I had a million dollars I'd get one of those Silicon Graphics machines or something like that.

If I had that much money, I really don't think I would do too much computer wise, except maybe get a new monitor, and a bigger Hard Drive.

I would sooooooo find better things to do with money. Like pay off credit cards and buy us a new car!

I had 2 zip drives fail and they destroyed 3 zips full of backed up files (this happened during a reinstall of windows and I needed my zip drive to work). I have no doubt that is where some of my levels went.

That's it sparky? Use your imagination! Try this on for size:

Dual 3.06ghz p4s I think this is possible
2gb rdram some boards will take that
2 200gb hds
radeon 9700 pro
auidgy 2
for sound it'll have 1000watt 6.1 surround sytem
the monitor will be a 57" HD projection tv

hmmm I was playing on alienware and managed to build a $10000 computer, I guess I'd settle for that if I had too.

BTW I have a new Alienware

Heh, I forgot about those extended IDE busses or whatever they are. Throw in like 8 200GB hard drives. lol with 1.6 terabytes of hard drive space I don't think you'll need the damn zip drive

I'm ok with my 120GB hard disc drive. I'd probably buy a really big house or all the games I ever wanted and a sooper fast comp.

Hehehe.

My current machine already beats the pants of what I thought of as a dream machine back in the late '80s.

I'm sure the comp you have in 2012 will make your current rig look like junk.
