I would also add a dev board from ClearSpeed for their CS301(or whatever they have out that's better) and a full set of CS301(or better) ships...256 of them should do. Last I checked, each chip was somewhere around $1,200 USD. The purpose: the CS301 is a 64-way chip capable of 25 gigaflops(25,000,000,000 floating-point operations per second) on a 200 MHz bus with fairly low power consumption. With the dev board, I could presumably create all kinds of hardware to utilize the chip. Adding it to NICs could allow fast TCP sequence prediction, perhaps SSL decryption on-the-fly, extreme packet generation, etc. Adding it to a video card could..be insane. It would be a password cracker's dream, IMO. Of course, the chip is old so there may be better out by now but rest assured that I would find it.
As a side note, if money were truly unlimited, I would buy multiple systems with similar specs and probably give them out as presents..after I built & populated my lair, of course.
