Long story short with the best things, a supercomputer would cost around $105,000.
Specs for one of the computers:
-2 intel itanium processors
-2Tb ram, ddr3
-Nvidia Quadro (12GB)
-10 USB 3.0 ports + 1 1.1 and 1 2.0
-Windows 8
-80'' Samsung touch screen
So umm... Anyone want to donate? Loljk but I would love to have one of these... By the way I have a page full of unbelievable fantastic specs so let me know if you want to see more of these ideas xD

lulz.
Show me a motherboard that has the required minimum 64 DIMM slots for that much RAM (assuming you'd get your hands on 32GB sticks @ ~ $2000 per stick)
Secondly, Intel's last Itanium proc is over 2 years old. And why only 2, why not go for 4?
Quadro's suck for gaming. Why would you want this?
Windows 8 isn't even out yet, and the reviews are not looking good.

My friend suggested a quadro. He only plays steam games and I literally only play minecraft (for my pc, I play other games on other things lol) so a quadro would do us good. My friend said that it's a really good graphics/video card but I'm going to ask him later and change it. Also, I meant a development version of Windows 8. You can also change the look to the normal windows 7 kind.

Quadro's are workstation cards, like the FireGL series by ATI. They're designed for stuff like 3D-rendering, CAD applications, etc. The drivers required for these cards are coded primarily for those tasks, not gaming. You mean to tell me you'd have a computer like this and only play Minecraft? I should ban you for such a thought. 
@Demon: nice find. I only looked at retailers like Newegg, NCIX. Doesn't support 2TB of RAM though. And no USB 3.0 ports.

Nah, I would mess around with it and probably use teh internetz. Of course music and making kick ass songs and vids (no idea where that idea came from but it would be awesome to do that)

Quadro = not a supercomputer
Cray = supercomputer
