I say go big [CarbonKevin and I think alike]. I'm working on a system right now, Evga SR-2 , 2 of the X5680 [7560's if I could find them]. Couple of Raid solid state drives w/ for local operating system stuff, a pair of mirrored 2TB's for storage [I don't have a server] Fx5800, finally 12 sticks of crucial 4gb [they haven't come out w/ the Ballistix in a 4gb yet or I'd spec that]. Set it up on a tech's lab bench and make it a piece of PC-Art, a working pc-of-art
A couple 32HDTV's running an extended desktop to top it all off..
All told your looking at a ~$6-7k [50% more if a person could find the x7560's]
That doesn't include the complete cooling kit from koolance [another ~$1k] but w/ the UV coolant and all the LED's, she'd be a beauty!
Should be a smoking machine! [now I've just got to pitch it to the powers that be ]
