    M/B £333.99 - Asus P6T7 WS Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
    GPU £1679.96 - 3 x XFX ATI Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
    RAM £286.99 - Corsair 12GB (6X2GB) 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Dominator with DHX+
    H/D £1379.96 - 4 x Intel X25-M Mainstream 160GB 2.5" (RAID 0 + 1)
    PSU £179.99 - Corsair HX 1000W ATX
    FAN £61.99 - Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Dual Fan Quiet CPU Cooler
    CASE £369.99 - Lian Li TYR PC-X2000 Aluminium Full-Tower
    Monitor £4439.96 - 4 x Dell Ultrasharp 3008WFP 30" Widescreen LCD Monitor (Eyefinity ;))
    SubTotal - £9502.82

    Other stuff
    Mouse £89.99 - Razer Mamba Wireless Laser Gaming Mouse
    Keyboard £129.98 - Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard
    PC Gaming Chair £92 - http://www.pyramat.com/pcgaming/pc-chair/
    Speakers £249.99 - Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified 5.1 Speaker System
    SubTotal - £561.96


    Total - £10,064.78 (€11,127.59) Everything priced from OC.UK except the gaming chair.

    I'm suprised at the price, before I started I was expecting it to be more around the 20k mark. I probably could of put more extravagant stuff in there but I'd be fairly happy with this system as it is. Watercooling everything though would be ideal because I would imagine this would be one seriously noisy PC!

    Eyefinity supports 6 monitors, so why stop at 4? :)

    (Wonder what kind of framerate you would get on Crysis with that)

    And why use the Dell 30"...the input lag is horrible on those...over 60ms which is nearly 3 times the amount of the previous model..

    ...and if the above cases all seem a bit too bling, well you could offset the snazzy looks with this little beauty that monitors (and grows) according to your CPU usage - ultimate external overclocking monitoring device ?

    Of course you'd also want a holographic display to go with all of that, complete with sonic something or other that lets you "feel" the items on screen...
