Hardware they don't make but you'd want

A full tower case that looks like the P280, has 9/10 PCIe slots, has at least one 200m fan mount on the side, top, and front and all openings have easy to remove air filters.

So simple, but so impossible.

I'd like one of those lian li mini-itx cases without the junk powersupply. I'm just going to buy silverstone's fully modular gold rated version anyways so I'd rather have the cost savings. Shouldn't be putting an unmodular psu in those things anyways. I mean really people hate full-sized cases that come with psus as it is so why haven't they caught on that the same goes for these htpc builds? Stop asking us to waste money you assholes.

All that is rated 80Plus Gold is not 80Plus Gold.

A 22Inch Monitor @ 4096 x 2304.

A motherboard with a GPU Socket just like those used on CPU not a PCI-E Slot, but a GPU Socket.

That would mean the VRAM has to be inserted like RAM (or shared memory).

Proper hardware RAM disk.

Years back there were some hardware RAM disks such as Gigabyte i-RAM floating around but nobody makes such things anymore.
Today we have adequately fast interconnects (PCIe 3.0), high density DRAM (now at 4Gbit, 8Gbit should be around in a year), though finding the memory controller might be a problem.

take one PCIe 3.0 x16 board

slap some eight-or-so DDR3 slots on it

add a lithium polymer battery-UPS to make the bits stay flipped when it's disconnected from 5VSB

find a bootable controller that can do it all

You get a 64GB(-128GB+) OS/apps RAM SSD that can deliver 10-16GB/s (PCIe 3.0 x16 cap) at nanosecond-scale access latency.
Flash SSDs would be nearly obsolete - until MRAM or such comes around to desktops near you.

What would it be, that imaginary piece o' hardware, your nerdy heart desires?

I still really really want a ram disk. Preferably one oc'able via windows.

Those are completely different powersupplies. The model you linked is the one I have the ST45SF the one linked from newegg is the -G model which swaps designs it actually uses a different OEM (Impervio) as opposed to the FSP built previous unit

You seem to have missed that those aren't the same powersupplies. The one with the G just came out a few months ago.

YES!!! Before I bought my laptop I looked into buying my own. There are some parts out there but nothing really to make a laptop. The best way I could find to do it was to buy each part individually for a specific laptop and just put it together yourself. Problem is that it would cost 50% more than buying the laptop pre made. I would love to have myself a custom laptop.

I wished they could make a remote control that could shut my wife up! Or at least make it so when she starts her bitching I could press a button and make her nice! :banghead:

Would have to be the same thing.. Always wanted them make a up to date one.. Kinda curious why some one hasn't maybe it's cost ?..

I buy one if Giga made one that could hold 32GB DDR3..
