Money to a certain extent is no object.
I have been asked to build a 'Super PC@ for a friend of mine. He says money is no object.
What do you guys recommend?

Abit IC7-G
1GB crucial ram
MSI nVidia 5900 Ultra 256MB
2 * 120GB SATA Hard drives
DVD-RW
CD-RW
Floppy drive

ur friend's gona pay major 4 a comp like that. at least $2000. ha ha. i would ask him if he's gona pay that much 1st. of course, if ur dealing with a guy in a maison, or some gang dude. but if it's some college student or high school student, $2k might b 2 much. but, that's my opinion.
