What would it be?
For me I would get the MacBook Pro. :)
It's such an awesome notebook...It can run Windows Vista and Mac OSX.
(http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/images/index_top20071026.jpg)
Specs and stuff: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/ (http://"http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/")
A MAC PRO WITH 32 GB OF RAM
It'd be a custom-built IBM-style or whatever you call it. The kind of computer that runs Windows and Linux and whatever psyduck;
8GB of RAM or whatever other maximum there is
Intel Quad Core CPU
Like four HDDs each 500gig or so
Dual-boot Windows XP Pro and Vista Ultimate (or whatever they call that highest version)
A PCI-e video card with S-vid and 15-pin D-sub outputs (maybe component if there is any). Dunno what specs
A TV-capture card that supports S-video, composite video, and YPbPr Component Video. 30+ FPS and real-time capture.
Two identical LCDs each with max resolution of like at least 1280x1024, not widescreen, and only like 16" or so.
Wireless B, G, and N PCI card.
Two DVD+RW drives
Flash card adapter for things like SD
Most likely a Macbook Pro also.

And I already own a Core 2 Duo iMac.
A Mac Pro, easily.
A Mac Book Pro with 1000 TB hardrive, 50 GBs of RAM, some really good graphics card that I wouldn't even know how to use, and some shiny stuff on the outside.
Although with all the video footage I have been filming 1000 TBs would be nice......

what
those blackbird gaming pcs
or alienware, my youtube friend has 1 and he says its pretty cool
For a laptop, a Macbook Pro.
For a desktop, I'd build my own. Although I'd be torn between AMD and NVidia for the video card. NVidia will have SLi and more power, but with AMD I can expect open-source video drivers on Linux.

hello there Hiei.
I wish I had money for a desktop so I could beef up the specs.
Mac Book Pro. My friends have it and it is simply awesome. everything about it in fact.. wub;

Why do you give a shit about my browser?
I guess it'd be a Mac Pro with all the specs maxed out.
I have enough money for an 8-core Mac Pro with 16 Gigabytes of RAM, but I wanted a laptop and the MacBook Pro's are horribly ugly and unportable

Lulz at all the Mac Pros pseudo;
Mac Pros suck, especially for their price. burned;
And you won't be gaming on one them, due to lack of GPU power, and they have way too much CPU power for any user, unless you actually need a workstation to run CUDA or something.
And its not future proof really, by the time you need that CPU power, those Xeons will be obsolete because everything will use SSE4 or SSE5 or whatever.

Most new Mac users don't know how to quit apps. READ: They'll need those eight cores.
Also, not everyone plays shitty games like Crysis.
Why the hell would you want to run Vista on a Macbook? psyduck;

You wouldn't be running Vista, then.

What? They suck for their price, but they have too much CPU power?
cool logic

Why not? It's usable, most problems can now be blamed on AMD and/or Creative.
600gb or so
2+gbs of ram
8800 or so gfx card with dual dvi outputs
way more usbs than i'll ever need
5.1 sound card
blah blah blah
processor able to run mac os just in case i wanted to
it'll cost about $1000 but after x-mas I'm going to save up for it, getting a job the day I turn 18

They have too much CPU power for any normal user. psyduck;
And if you're buying a workstation, a Mac Pro is way too expensive, especially for the bare minimum specs.
7300 and 1gb of RAM? On a Workstation? For $2500?
And on top of that, upgrading to a Quadro GPU on a Mac Pro is twice the normal price, and the same with more RAM.
Probably something I won't use past 33% of its full power.

The GPU isn't comparable to other stuff you can buy on the market, but unless you're running shit like Crysis, it'll be good for at least a few years.

Or if you're using it as a workstation, like most people with a Mac Pro would, the GPU isn't enough.

Apparently not, since Photo, Audio, and Video editing works fine. Differences in DirectX and OpenGL, methinks? Like Lawlz said, you aren't going to be running Crysis on it.

Very, very computers come with good GPUs. You have to upgrade it, dumb shits. There are plenty of options from apple and it's upgradeable

This is coming from the idiot who brags about running OS X on his PC then insults it and says all macs have GMA 950s

yes it's upgradeable
But there are better things on the market than what even Apple lists there.

1. 7300GTs are worth $60, not $150.
2. X1950s aren't worth $400 ($150 for the 7300 included in price +$250
And having 2x 7300s doesn't make SLi, Apple uses Intel chipsets, and only Nvidia Nforce chipsets support SLi. So having multiple 7300s is only good for multi monitor set ups.

SLI doesn't really make that much of a difference

I'll agree with that. Especially on a Mac when you aren't playing games anyway. SLi isn't going to render your desktop any better.

No, it doesn't make a huge difference in gaming on Windows, either.

It does a little, but it doesn't double performance.
I think 1.5x performance is still almost unheard of for SLi.
Mac pro.
