I was playing around with Apple's customisation options for the Mac Pro when I was bored and had nothing to do, I selected every top (most expensive) option there was for hardware including two 27" displays, 4 x 512Gb SSDs etc etc etc...
All I have to do now is win the lottery

Here is the outcome... if my math is right it comes out to about $26,200 USD
Fingers crossed hehe

I've done that before, too. It made me a little sick to my stomach when I saw the $$$ total.

Oh the things you could buy if you won the lottery. Good luck with that.

Lots of toys and less worries come to mind. Then the vacation resort would come in handy from being wore out from shopping.

Yeah...if someone is dreaming of winning the lottery...you certainly need to DREAM BIG regarding the amount you would win & what you would do with it!

Not a vacation, those would be my 2 new homes, of coarse though, you'd be welcome to come for a vacation anytime

Be careful cause the whole forum community might come knocking on your door one day.

Hahaha...I think we've all built the most most expensive mac setup on apple's site at least once

If I won the lottery, I would pay off the house, buy all my family members some reliable cars(Infiniti, Acura, or Lexus), pay off my school loans, donate some to school, put some into a swiss savings account, tell my parents' employers to F off, and then go on a much needed vacation! Oh yeah! I forgot one thing...I would buy every single new thing I could find in the Apple store(minus the dumb cases and stuff I wouldn't need)

One more thing! I would also drive this piece of crap Saturn Aura off a cliff!

Now...realistically speaking, I would probably just get my parents 2 new cars, along with a couple of macs, pay off school, and put the rest into savings.
