Ultimate gaming system

Oh yeah, Wild Bill's been around for many decades. The Atari 600, 800, and 1200 machines are 30+ years old. I guess it's fair to say that while Mr. Gates is a rousing success, he's neither an overnight sensation, or a flash in the pan.

You need to watch the movie, "Freejack"........ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104299/ or at Amazon..http://www.amazon.com/Freejack-Emil...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1290400735&sr=1-1

You need neither of those to eat lettuce and tomato until his 82nd dieing year. YES, I predicted it.

Easy peasy for me...

2x Dell Ultra sharp 30" LCDs, 2x 512GB SSDs, 4x 3TB HDDs, 2x Hd5970's, a rather mahoosive PSU, Lian Li ATi Crossfire windowed super tower case, Gigabyte 4x CF motherboard, Phenom 1090T, custom water setup (with everything cooled), 16GB DDR3 RAM, plus a few other things I probably have forgotten.

I'm planning just the same system when I get my inherritance, though it'll probably turn out much less than that, as I'd like a car too. :haha:

At 1/5th the price, the X6 actually wins about a third of the benches.

Not to be too pick hk - but I can't see a single area in that benchmark you linked where the X6 won. Are you sure you're paying attention to where lower is faster? I'd hate for people to mistakenly think the X6 is faster than a 980X at anything.

Oh... and for my dream machine:
EVGA Classified SR-2
2 x Intel Xeon X5680
4 x nVidia GTX 580 (Quad SLI of course)
3 x Dell U3011 30" (can't have a bezel on the crosshairs of my FPS games)
2 x OCZ RevoDrive X2 960GB PCI-Express x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (worried if I can fit these with Quad SLI in the rig - might have to pass on it)
48GB G.SKILL Ripjaws + Turbulence Series (12 x 4GB) DDR3 1900 (PC3 15200)
SILVERSTONE ST1500 1500W ATX SLI Ready 80 PLUS SILVER PSU (Maybe 2 of these)
Auzen X-Fi Forte 7.1
Better than sufficient cooling
Undecided on Case
Marantz SR8002 receiver (I'll avoid crazy amplification for now)
1 pair B&W 800 Diamond
1 pair B&W 804 Diamond
1 pair B&W 805 Diamond
1 B&W HTM2 Diamond
1 B&W DB1

1 B&W HTM2 Diamond

In a blind act of patriotism, I think I'd go for sound system based on the JBL, "K-2"s....http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-10313992-47.html

Horn loaded midrange, accept no substitutes. These should place the listeners perception of spatial location somewhere in the lead singer's mouth, even from ten paces away. Or, "you ARE there", with JBL...!

I'm sure those may sound nice, but I've never heard them. I've listened to the B&W 800s and the DB1 and I fell in love immediately. I'd have to give them a thorough listening to before I could judge those JBLs. If I was gonna go bananas I'd just choose a pair of Wilson Audio Alexandria Series 2s - but I haven't heard those either.
