Cool shit I'd make if I was theoretically rich

this thread is dedicated to all the cool ass shit you could make if you weren't living in piss poor poverty, feel free to post your own.

Well the first thing I'd make would be an SNES pc, going to be honest with you, retro stuff give me a rock hard nostalgia boner, which is pretty weird since I'm 20

Mod Note, is this a blog, I really don't know, this whole internet thing confuses me to no end, i've only had for 2 years now, I'm just really good with hardware and software, that's been the "internet rock: I've been living under  all this time.

I'll take this time to also say please don't send me an email or pm via tek syndicate, because that just emails me and email confuses me more than old people, yeah I'm a assbackwards nerd.

Deal with it.

I'm confused, if you were only theoretically rich you wouldn't have the money for all this stuff....

You know what he means, so there's no point pointing it out.

its just an attention grabber, none of my blogs have even been an afterthought, going to up date this one today with another one of my crack pot ideas

I would build a buggy/kart thing with an engine of course. Maybe use some old bicylce wheels, some steel tubing, and an old two stroke engine (maybe chainsaw although probably wouldn't be powerful enough.)

That on it's own wouldn't cost too much, but the expensive part is the welding. I would need to buy the equipment seeing as I don't have it.

I got this Idea from this custom AIO case, but I didn't like their selection and actual lack of customization

the Idea is to gut out the combo tv and throw the rest of the parts in, I did the messurements and this is what I could fit in

and that's what I would do with more money than sense

super nintendo pc = AWESOME

If I was rich, I would buy a Power7 Server and use one of those Riser Cards to turn it into a Workstation.

It would be great for stability. PowerPC was so stable, I have friends that are Mac users and they said that their G4 without ECC Memory was more stable than than the Xeon Mac Pro due to the short pipeline. There are RISC SPARC Servers that have a 7-year uptime.

i have all the welding equipment you could need. nice mig welder, a plasma cutter, oxy actelene torch, metal chop saw, plus angle grinders.  if you lived in virginia i could do the work for you.

my crazy ass idea is making a super case that supports 6 of the biggest radiators. and has enough room for 3 e-atx mobo's and 3 graphics cards on each one.  daisy chaining them all together for the  the biggest bad ass gaming computer known to man.  9 7990's with 3 8350's would make crisis 3 beg for mercy and ask for a wall of monitors just to make it stress a little bit.

problem 1 need knowledge in design to make the case

problem 2 need cash for all the components.

problem 3 making all of the boards function as one i know it can be done just don't know how.

making the case is no big issue i have welding equipment and access to all the metal for the build.
