5000 dollars

[ArtificialSynapse]

Okay, you have $5000 to spend on a new shinny Ubuntu system. What would you buy?

Post pictures / specs / configurations :KS

I would buy a nvidia quadro video card, 3gb ram, dual core 2, and all the basics. Maybe even 4gb ram.

[OffHand]

I would spend 2K and go on a holiday with 3K :D

[karellen]

I would buy me a car with most of the money and a nice notebook with 1000$ that could run ubuntu (and any other distro) like a breeze

[Outrunner]

5000$ on a new computer?! You've got to be kidding me! I wouldn't spend that much, it's not a gaming PC.

EDIT: and to answer the topic, I'd buy a med-high spec laptop(not sure which one that would be, but whatever)

$100 bucks for a P4 on ebay, $4900 to hike the Appalacian trail.

[nandasunu]

I would love a fully spec'd out Mac Pro ....

I think then you need almost twice or three times that amount with the new dual quadcore's;)

[Omnios]

Id pimp out the a with a Ubutnu lap top and a car media edition system.

Buy myself a new system running with ubuntu on ione workstation and one laptop. strictly ubuntu. And raid is going to be in that one workstation.

I would probably experiment with a Sun Sparc system and see how they work out. Always wanted a Sun System - running Ubuntu would be a very nice combo.

Well. You have a long way to go then. I tried to configure a maxed out mac pro. Excluding monitors and additional software the computer was still more than $13000.... YIKES!

[tcpip4lyfe]

I'd pay off my credit card

[diskotek]

i would spend 200 $ of it on external hard-disk and than i would like buy pioneer djm 600 mixer, 2 technics mk5 turntables. heheh

[diskotek]

I'd pay off my credit card

hmmm that's better option... +1 i forgot about my turntables right now

[KaroSHiv0n]

i would buy a dual 64bit amd system with 1gig ram and spent the other 4,500 on comics/books/movies/booze.

[prizrak]

Panasonic ToughBook

[fuscia]

i'm pretty happy with my laptop, but had i more money to spend, i guess i would have gotten a more potent processor and another gig of memory. other than that, i might use money to get some kind of mac to mess with. i don't know...i guess i'd rather spend the money on beer.

[goumples]

Quad Core processer, 4 gigs of RAM, twin 512mb nvidia graphics cards, terabyte HD... yum

I'd probably just buy an el cheapo pc from Ebay and pocket the difference.

[fuscia]

i'm more likely to buy a drum kit.

[Tundro Walker]

You should buy a fully decked P4 for $500 on eBay...and send the other $4500 to me.

Donate it to Canonical for further development of Ubuntu :D
