Oh boy. Well. This is an incredibly geeky question.

Well, we're incredibly geeky people.

Yes, and I love it when I stumble across people like that.

And what does it say about me that I actually attempted to reason out a plausible battle?

That you put much more effort into thinking about this than most of us. ^_^

I blame that on being a fan of both series equally. Plus these situations are never any fun unless you do reason stuff out.

Ah, true, true. I can imagine the Borgs and the Daleks forming a temporary truce to beat their common enemies, then one completely overpowering the other.

It seems to be the standard formula.

Really, it depends on what works. I mean, I've seen the Borg assimilate machines before, so plausibly they could get the Daleks, but the Daleks are tenacious and would probably easily find some way to kill the Borg.

[Quamyooze]

Daleks. No doubt in my mind.

At the same time, the Doctor has more or less killed out the Daleks on more than one occasion (they ARE tenacious little buggers) and no one has really gotten close to wiping out the Borg. That has to say something for their race...

Mmm, yes.
Do you think the Doctor could kill the Borg? Picard got close, once, with some recursive program or something that he had Data design.

Picard and the Doctor together might be able to take out both, but it would be interesting to see them try to handle the other's enemies... Doctor would probably be able to handle the Borg, not sure about Picard with the Daleks...

Yeah, I dunno about the latter, either. Force fields MIGHT be able to hold them. Maybe.
I don't know if the entire Federation could take them on.

I'd like to see the ToS cast go at it with the Borg, personally. Or the Daleks. Both would be very interesting to watch.

The Daleks would wipe out TOS. The Borg, maybe not so much.

Now I'm curious about other space monsters battling the Daleks and/or Borg.

Let's assume yes to both.
The Daleks could swarm the Borg with sheer numbers and killing rage, but the Borg could, just as easily, assimilate the Daleks to create Dalek-Borg--a truly terrifying prospect. I think that the Dalek-Borg would be superior to both and would wipe them all out.
Winner: Both lose.

But you are forgetting, Daleks are Daleks only. As soon as one is assimilated they are corrupted. Just like in the first season when Rose changes the Dalek, he no longer wanted to live. I think you would encounter a similar scenario. Though since Borg's do not have emotions either it wouldn't get all sad but it will be conflicted. It would be torn between it's original program to exterminate and the new one, to assimilate. It wouldn't understand what to do, to exterminate means it can't assimilate but to assimilate means it can't exterminate. Therefore a Dalek-borg would be completely useless. Also assimilating someones takes a lot of time and unless they figure out a way to knock the Dalek unconscious there would be no way to go through the process of implanting all the Borg technology.

Honestly there are too many variables to decide a clear cut winner. I'd say, they both are awesome in their own ways and if they ever meet. That would be an epic battle of epicness. 3nodding

You bring up an excellent point. Are you saying that all assimilated Dalek would self-destruct and that the Daleks would win?

So many possibilities...
