Toying with the idea...

[SpungE]

of investing all of my money in an extremely powerful computer. On one hand it would help to have a computer I can edit and do all my uni work on whilst being awesome for playing games too . On the other it would be a huge amount to pay out.

Here's my mock up;

It has a lot of storage I know but that's in anticipation of some HD work over the next few years. Processor I'm not overly sure about but seems to be a good quad which is what I'll need for rendering ect.

GFX card is just a lavish expense Obviously there are some bits and pieces no listed, ie cd drives fans ect.

Thoughts dudes?

ETA; I don't want to hear one word about vista 64bit in here Eugene.
