My Dream config(as of yet that has been formulated) is this:
Specs: CPU: Dual Intel Core 2 Extreme
QX9775 @ 4.6GHz;
Motherboard: Intel
D5400XS eATX (Intel 5400 chipset);
RAM: 4GB SuperTalent DDR2-667;
HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor (2x;
RAID 0), 1TB Hitachi Deskstar;
GPU:
Evga Nvidia GTX 280 (SLI);
PSU: Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX-

To set the tongues waggling here's the screenshot. Check out the massive cooling system.

The other true dream config would be:
Dual Cell processor, a mobo capable of running them, 16GB XDR RAM, a hexa SLi(3 GTX 280X2), 2TB storage, 2500x1600 res. screen, Harman Kardon AV reciever, B&o BeoLab 5(1 pair) and BeoLab2(1 pair).:D What can I say, its a dream ;)

Currently I've this config:

  1. Intel Core2Duo E 6300
  2. Asus P5LD2Vm Motherboard
  3. Kingston 2x1GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
  4. Asus EN7600GT GPU
  5. Seagate 400GB+160GB HDD
  6. Creative T6060 5.1
  7. Samsung 26" LCD TV
  8. Logitech Keyboard+Mouse Combo
Anyways, I'm about to buy a desktop replacement Laptop later this year and have saved up 80K for my desktop upgrade, which is bound to happen next year as soon as I hit the 1.25-1.5 lakh mark :D
For that upgrade I currently don't have a plan except for this that:

  1. Its gotta be a Crossfire or SLi machine
  2. A TB of storage at least
  3. Full HD screen
  4. Speakers with in-built Hardware Dolby Decoder unit(like logitech Z-5500D)
What do you guys say, can I get it all in 1 lac or above next year by this time(my graduation will finish by this time next year) ? :D

My current one supports max res. of 1360x768 and only select res. below it unlike a PC monitor which supports all in its spectrum below its native res. I don't wanna go for a Full HD LCD TV 'cause I suspect its gonna have same problem too.
I have my eye on a Dell 30" but its not available in India yet. I don't want very big size LCD 'cause my viewing distance is small.
@Madjeri What edge u r talkin' 'bout cuttin'?

The 1080p Video that I've got is "Black Hawk Down". It looks awesome. The res. as u can see is of 16:10 Aspect ratio so some video when played in VLC and aspect ratio set to 16:9 some videos do leave a blank edge on either side but normally, either its gameplay or DVD movies or even 720P ones or 1080P no edge is left blank. I got it in Feb. 2007 for 40K with a Upscaling DVD Player. If I didn't go for DVD player it would've cost me 35K but since at that time the DVD player with upscaling capabilities was for 8-10K itself, it was definitely a steal for me.

Well if u want to see the edge cut in action then I can post some screes but if u r looking forward to buy one, take my advice, skip the 26" one.

I still say, go for a Dell 24" Full HD display, u'll get all the res u'll need, HDMI port to connect console and a superb PC experience. LCD TV 26" one don't come in Full HD range by any company whether Sony or LG or Samsung. Full HD LCD TV start from 32" size and the cheapest offering from Samsung is more than 50K ! So I say stick to a LCD monitor only. I myself gonna buy a 30" FullHD LCD monitor as soon as I get my funds together.Moreover be it LCD monitor or TV, u'll need a seperate audio setup to enjoy the game's music.
