Build the most expensive desktop challenge
People are always looking for the best value, but really, how expensive can you get?
Requirements: - CPU must be x86/x86-64 based
- Can only have one motherboard (so no grids)
- Must be a "desktop" machine (though you can use a different form factor than ATX)
- All components must *do something*, ie no LEDs. I'll exclude cooling solutions (so you can't have huge platinum/gold systems) as well as the case
- Following on from above, the system must actually work (obviously) and each component has to be active (ie no random stray components)
- This is only for the box - do not include monitors, keyboards, printers, airplanes, etc
- I have to use some sort of "benchmark" so that you don't just pick the most expensive thing you can find - you must use the cheapest price for the component from http://staticice.com.au/ (if you have a better place, please post)
Do you think you can break the $100k mark?
