    You could pay scientists to find a way to make you live forever. Then you could mod and mod and mod... You would end up having to mod the moon to keep you busy. You could cover the moon's surface in multi-colour LED's, and control them remotely from your pc. Rendermandan and CO, this might be your final project.

    Forget the ice hotel in die another day, how about a mansion made entirely of plexiglass. Just frost the edges so people cant see in. Use INCH thick plexi, and a couple thousand more LED's, with LED turbine fans to move the air from room to room. Run the LED's off a UPS, then when everyones power goes out, you still have LEDs and real cool light shows!!

    Just for fun, I would like to walk into a Best Buy, Circuit City, or similar store, and just walk up to the service counter. Where I would tell the person behind the counter that I would like 1 of everything in the store. Just to see the look on their faces.
    Of course the items would go to some charity, most likely it would be for schools for children with disabilities.

    With a trillion bucks, I don't think I could list ALL the things I would do.

    That would be a priceless moment...

    As far as the used super-computer, I can see that. I would probably try to take the case from a Cray 2 and mod that... Oh the beowulf cluster it could create in that 6 foot diameter liquid cooled beauty...

    Yes you could buy a new CRAY for only a couple million. Your FAH score would be mighty impressive!

    ...and you could buy a refurbished supercomputer from my company. That is part of what we do. We buy consignment equipment, remanufacture it to original specs (sometimes better than original) and resell it for a fraction of the original cost...

    What would I do with a trillion? for starters I would buy the company I work for and FIRE EVERYONE!

    There is more, but you get the idea...
