If you had one wish to have one computer you wanted, what would it be? For me it would be a computer that runs every operating system ever.(never gonna happen)

well oddly enough my dream pc would be what i have now:
MOBO - ASUS M4A785TD-V CPU - AMD Phenom II 965 Black Ed ATI - 4670 1gbdd3 RAM - Patriot Viper II Sector 5 DDR3-1600 4GB DVDR/CDR/Supermulti Drive Enermax Liberty DXX 620W Modular ATX PSU SLI 2.7TB HDD Cheiftec Dragon Aluminum Server Case
with another 4gb of ram....i was going to buy 4gb of ram after i built my PC, but i never ended up picking up the stuff...so 10mths later i still want to upgrade a bit..i dont need a fancy huge PC, just sumthin that work and does what i need it to do..
Actually, this Cray is pretty boring. It's just a cluster in a deskside form factor. Like SGI Octane III or SiCortex SC072.
Hell, it's incredibly boring- but it's powerful, and that's what matters
I was writing about the architecture. It's powerful in the boring way - it's a scale-out cluster, basically less than a half of a single CX1000-C node (as opposed to the CX1000-SC scale-up node). It would be nice if Cray made a small CX1000-SC based computer (just like SGI did with the Altix UV - there's the 4 rack (now even more) Altix UV 1000 but also the 4U Altix UV 10).

I know
As for the Mac Pro, actually I'd not thought of that.

Yeah although the graphics cards are a tad weak in them
So something like having a EVGA SR-2 mobo (allows 2 xeon processors) with like 3 Nvidia GTX580's (or those yet to be released ATI 6990's)
like 24gb DDR3 ram or something And those PCI Express Solid State Drives which have incredible speeds. Along with some 2TB raid 1 drives for backup etc etc
However new Intel Sandy Bridge Processors are coming out soon with yet another processor socket design, so i would wait till then to think about my dream computer!
Edit:
And I would love a iMac G4 they look insane! And a 90's Windows 95/98 era laptop. Wish I could get my hands on something like that...

Favourite OS They all blow
Something like a mac pro with high-end video capture cards etc.. would rule. Along with a powerful laptop that has good battery and lots of juice.
Sega teradrive is possibly another contender It's a megadrive + PC built in to one. The pc side has even access to the sega hardware inside.
The real dream is just to have all kinds of components ready for build. Do combinations, htpc projects etc.. all the stuff I ever wanted to but had no money

YESS, I completely forgot about video capture cards. Once I get my betamax player working (just need to fix a gear), I'll need something better than a crappy DVD recorder to get it onto a computer

My dream computer would be a computer where the graphics are similar to our graphics in real life as in, pretty much what you see around in real life but on the computer screen and you can control it. Not talking about remote control things with cameras or watching movies. I'm talking about extreme graphics that is life like. Also, the physics would be involved also, would be nice. Other than that, more cpu power would be awesome such as i7 980 extreme.

My dream computer would be something that's entirely future-proof and 100% reliable. Something which would keep up with the advances in computing technology for at least 10 or so years. Something which would never break down under the highest amounts of stress. I can't possibly say that there's any computing technology that exists which can do that yet, so I guess it's a dream and will probably remain as such.
