Serious answer
I'd really like to do this. I've been scrounging up parts from work for the last few years and have a pretty good spec. Dual Quad core Xeons, Pair of Crossfired HD5770's 16gb RAM etc etc but it would be lovely to start one from scratch and not have to scrimp in any area. Trouble is the graphics card I picked out costs almost 500 quid on its own.
