Below is the quick list I've compiled for the new system I'm going to build in December when Vista is released:

Silverstone TEMJIN TJ07S Aluminum Case
SilverStone ST60F 600W (42A/504W) Modular (x2)
AMD Operton 2xx Socket F Dual Core 3.0GHz (x2)
Tyan Dual Socket F 1207, Quad SLI
Maxtor AtlasII 15K SAS 36.7GB 16MB (x2)
Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500GB 7200RPM 16MB NCQ SATAII (x2)
Mushkin 1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800MHz 3-3-3 (x4)
Plextor HD-DVD RW, DVD+/-RW DL SATAII
Plextor HD-DVD-ROM, DVD-ROM SATA
XFX nVidia G80 Series 512MB Quad SLI (x2)
2port Fire 800, 1port 400, PCIe Card
ArtLebedev Optimus OLED Keyboard
LCD, 23" 16x9 Ultra-Brite, 2ms

Hopefully all of the above will be available by December and I'm sure in fact there may be an nVidia 8xxx series.

That should last me from Dec. '06 until say Dec. '09 at which point I'll upgrade the Opterons to Quad-Core (hence why I'm waiting for Socket F) and go from 4GB of memory to 8GB and maybe throw a couple 1TB hard drives in there to. I'm hoping to get 5-6 years of GREAT use out of it before starting a new ground up system.

Just thought I'd share

-------------------------
AMD Phenom II X4 955BE AM3 (Multi x18.5@3712.5MHz) - 965BE On order!
Thermalright IFX-14 Lapped with AS5 (Not installed)

ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 790GX HDMI ATX
8GB Mushkin 996625 DDR3 1600 (7-7-6-18-24 - DRAM 1.86v)
Corsair CMPSU-750HX ATX12V 2.3 Modular

planning for a new system a full year ahead... i think component recs. has hit a new low

in pcs you cant plan ahead like that plan a month ahead maybe but not a year!

wow, it must be nice to know you're coming in to about $10,000 later on this year...

if you're looking for opinions, even for a "dream" computer, what you have listed is gross overkill. "Decadent" isn't usually ascribed to technology, but if you actually build that thing, you should have "Let them eat cake" inscribed on your case.

also, how are you going to cool that system? you'll never cool it effectively using stock solutions...and I have my doubts that a 600w psu will be able to provide stable power.

Rig 1: AM2 X2 4850e--MSI K9N Neo V3--2x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800--Sapphire HD4830--Corsair VX450--Acer H213H-Win XP
Rig 2:Athlon X2 7850 Kuma--Biostar 780L--2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800--Asus Formula HD4770--Corsair VX450--LG Flatron W2252TQ-Win 7 32-bit Premium
Capitalism rocks!

wtf, Socket F hasn't even been given a release date...it isn't even in the news except once when they announced it!!!
