[Moederloos]

spend 3K on a machine, load linux, and spend the other 97K on cheap women and expensive booze.

 

[Telkomisaloser]

Pay R100 000 to me for advice what to do with R100 000

 

[killadoob]

Finally, me and killa agree on something again.

I'd say by a R15 000 PC. Invest the rest and upgrade once a year with the interest...

 

[Amida]

Let's say you had to spend it or lose it

 

[killadoob]

wow good week hahaha

got beanie and you 2 agree, its goin to be a good year

well dude

even the best pc on market will set you back about 40k

 

[ToxicBunny]

Does it have to be on 1 PC?...

what about a server and a PC?

Although I could spend 100k on a pc.... with a VERY large portion of it going on the monitors...

I'll start disagreeing with you soon, don't worry

 

[antowan]

I can get you 3 Eight Core Apples for that money plus sum extra goodies to cheer you up... You can even load Windows on it. Should run pretty snazzy!



Heck you can Beowulf 'em and have some serious processing fun! Think about it... 24 super horses on your desktop! Amen! Video editors will kill for your power! Music makers would die!

Heheheheheheh!

Ryder i got it running

come reply in the thread you created so that people with a similiar issue will know the outcome!

 

[mercurial]

i doubt it's enough money...but

i'd build my own news server for all ye filthy downloaders

 

[flarkit]

I'd put together a server and a gaming PC:

Server = Quadcore CPU, 4Gb RAM, cheap 512Mb gfx card, 5Tb storage (hmmm, solidstate drives!)

Gaming = Dual-core CPU, SLI 1Gb 8800GT's (unless the 9800's prove themselves), 2x150Gb 10,000RPM Raptor's in RAID config, watercooling, 2x24" LCD's.

Include 2 UPS's for these puppies.

That should use up half of the budget. Then pay up 2-year's worth of uncapped 4Mb ADSL.

Alternatively one could look at adding a room for the new kit, buying furniture, etc.
