Most powerful computer

FlameOne

I was looking through the sticky showing your computers there and the one from Flaccus seems like the best you could buy on the market. But if money was no object, what is the most powerful machine you could get? I don't mean super computers it would have to be of reasonable size to fit in your average room. You always hear about will that machine run crysis. But what machines do they use to actually make crysis?

If I would have to have something completely custom, and in the same room as me, then I would make it completely silent. I'd have the everything cooled using a cold water loop from outside the house. The hardware itself is trivial. The most expensive/fastest/l33t of everything.
