Here is mine:
OS: Fedora Core or OpenSUSE OR Ubuntu
Window Manager: Beryl and Blackbox
Desktop Environments: Blackbox, and GNOME
Compatibility layer: CrossOver Linux and/or Wine + Wine-Doors (an addon to Wine that is ,I think a fork or a similarity to WineTools but better and less dangerous to Wine)
Hardware:
Can;t decide yet but it will have lots of expensive and lavish hardware.
Plus a floppy drive
It will be a Desktop computer with a PCI wireless card or a USB wireless device
Plus CD-RW,DVD-RW,Blu-Ray (read and write), HD-DVD (read and write) combo drives (if possible to have 1 or 2, 1 for CD and DVD and the other for HD-DVD or Blu-Ray or just 1 combo drive.

Its too slow!

I would probably have to have a 2nd machine because not too many programs work with XP x64. The problem is that is the only way to max out the RAM to 16Gb . WinXP32 cannot handle it. If I won the lottery though I might be able to afford another machine though.
BTW Current Retail price for that beauty was only $15,900!

I was thinking of just scanning and emailing them my cash. I think it might work. I have a pretty good scanner. Of course with a machine like that I might be able to print my own money with it.

10TB's?
I'd say around 8TB in just hard-disks and 2TB in network storage.
I need a lot of space for the things I want to do (various projects, homework archives, website designs, custom Linux distros).

Windows Xp Pro and Ubuntu Multimedia Center (an os based on ubuntu designed be me)
A 40x Cdrom and a 10x40x10 DVD RW drive 512 megs of ram (soon upgrading to a gig)
and a pitifull 800mhz AMD Duron Processor but it works so I'm ok

my apple.com session has timed out, basically it was a fully specified Mac Pro with an XSevre and 32gb of ram backing it up, oh and 10.5 TB of hard drive space! As for being a Mac person, I'd tri-boot it, Ubuntu Vista and OSX

I'd probably Quad-boot it: Ubuntu, XP, Vista and OSX.
Even better, deca-boot it: Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo, XP, Vista, OSX Panther and OSX Tiger.

until just yesterday, my dream PC was the 17" Macbook Pro. But after talking with a few people who "really know macs", I found out that Autocad does not work well with a Mac, say via Parallels or Boot Camp. So I guess I'll have to start looking around, maybe a Dell.

Linux: Because rebooting is for adding hardware
What No Ubuntu Multimedia Center. I was going to add a nice interface to it. To make it look better than a normal ubuntu system

I hate M$ and all that they do,I declare windows and its 400,000 viruses malware. The only reason I use windows is because Im a gamer and its not possible to run my games on Ubuntu (Not even thru wine, I think) But if i could use my games on Ubuntu (BattleField 2142, Halo) consider my hard-drive formatted. I have tried dual boot, but i am having extreme trouble.

Linux: Because rebooting is for adding hardware
its a little funky. i cant think of the name but it is the third in a line of super comps. its got like a 10ghz processor or at least something close to that. i doubt anyting will work on it thogh. otherwise i got my anchent beauty. Hewlett Packerd Vectra vlI8 mt with a pentium III @ 450 mhz, (hoping to get a quad core xenon), an unfortunate 385 megs ram, (hoping to boost it to 1 gigabyte), two HDD's, one 6.06 gigs, other is 40, gigs, (hoping to get a 400 gig) one cd drive (currently inoperational), one touch keyboard, ethernet, (hoping to get wireless). i am hoping for a lot of stuff for the ghettoest comp on the face of the earth. i gat an hdd cable from a 2003 pavillion as well as a floppy drive from the same comp, my case light is a little tri led closet light stuck tot eh bottom of the case, the case side no longer stayes attached. i consider myself a computer miricalworker. my other ainchent piece is a pb-55 otherwise known as a packerd bell pack-mate x-20 from 1989 running win 3.0, i have kept it running for 12 years of its 18 year life.

My next computer, will probally be an HP, with dual boot Windows XP/Perhaps Vista, and Ubuntu 6.06/7.04. A Dual Core Porcessor. Some kinda great grahics. Built in webcam. (Maybe) DVD and CD Burn, all I need really. Like, so many gigs of RAM. 500/600 gigs or HD should be fine. It would be a laptop as well. And some other fun stuff. That's not my DREAM computer, just the one I wanna be able to afford.
----------------------------------------
I felt so different without a signature.
I would go with:
-15" Screen laptop (I love mobility)
-Intel Core Duo 2 Mobile processor
-Highest speeds I can get
-Best Radeon vid card I can get
-best etc. etc. etc.
-Oh, and Win XP Pro or Vista Ultimate (I despise all other operating systems :wink:)
Not really a dream computer, I would probably go with a high-end desktop somewhere around $16 grand.

mine would be this one

just manually soup it for vista.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
I'd say I'd replace my good old CF-72 (p3-650 256meg ram) with this:

All the goodies. Dual boot. Lotsa fun. Lotsa $$$
You'd llike to have "the high-flying CEO's dream machine."
That's nice.
