take that processor that costs 1300 dollars or euros.
i think it was an intel quad core with 3,2ghz (instead of the
2.8ghz one for 260 lol.)
and gfx cards, radeon4870x2 i think is still most expensive.
mobo and other stuff, idk.
EDIT: this processor

don't go mainstream if he allows you to go with a nice rendering card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814195005$1400 expensive enough for a graphics card?
It used to be Alphastations went for $20k, back in the 90's, dunno if that will fit your bill. A high-end graphics workstation (SGI) would be priciest, although I don't know if it's considered a "personal computer".

Go to one of those computer part destributing sites (such as
http://mbit.pt/ for portuguese people) and just choose the most expensive parts
(dont forget all the acessories so it gets as expensive as it can)

if you look hard enough you can really find some amazing motherboards to hold a shit load of drives and ram, that adds up, plus whatever you can attach to the computer counts, so say you could spend like 200k usd on a speaker system and wire it to your computer that would count, so im going to get a crap load of ubs so i can attach random things
