Members, post links to various computer parts you would use in building the ultimate PC. Make it something around 1,000 USD and demonstrate your knowledge of finding deals, etc. I will post mine very soon...

Preferably you should use Newegg.com or some other well known retailer.

This is the motherboard I think I'd get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128082

It says the thing is "Ultra Durable 2 & Dynamic Energy Saver" which sits well with me. I always want to save energy that's why I never use suspend mode.

The ultimate PC can't ever be built for the components keep changing as time moves along. What is the ultimate today is the discarded remenants of tomorrow. Just buy what you can afford, don't go nutz, and buy AMD not Intel, IMHO. ASUS makes great MOBO's as well.

1000 bucks and ultimate PC don't belong in the same sentence.

And I completely disagree, if cash isn't a factor then Intel is the only way to go right now. Maybe things will change in the future.

I was banned I'm on probation for awhile until he decides I'm not a threat or as annoying as before. We can only wonder what the final answer shall be...

I'm tempted to write a story now and make up things, alas I did not really do anything.
