If someone said the same to me I would say "wow that is B A".
Again you are bringing up irrelevant things to my point. He IS NOT building the greatest computer...ever. If he had posted "Look at this new computer that I am building ... on a budget of X" I would have not even posted in this thread.

If I had won I think I would have to say I would spend money on a lot of "overpriced" crap. I would also give money to my family, but I did not, neither did you. Again my point is that there is something greater than what he is building. I could have said there are other boards out there that are better because they take more RAM, my point would still have been true. There are other statements here that point out other places that money could have been spent, like on 10k RPM Hard drives. Even my older (about 2 year old computer that I built) that I put 2 10k RPM raptor hard drives still runs Vista awesome because the I/O to the storage device is MUCH better than a 7200 RPM (assuming EIDE because he didnt mention SATA or SATA 2)HDD.
Would you laugh at the guy with the Lambo?
