Okay, I don't recall if I've actually done this yet.....

/m shrugs

Whatever the fastest Dual Athlon MP is.

The most expensive server-based motherboard.
The most ram that can be stuffed into it.
Probably the Radeon 8500, and have it run two 19-inch LCD displays. I think I'd have a G400Max (maybe a G550, I'm not sure) run two 17-inch displays, if it has a PCI version. Well, the best PCI "dual-head" type display card.

Fiber Channel Hard drives (hehehe, mechBgon, I think you know what I'm talking about ). Probably in Raid 0+1 or 1+0 (I'm not sure yet ).

Um.....I'm not too big on sound cards, or speakers, so I'd probably go with like, a Santa Cruz or something, and then add in a Kilpseck (spelling?) speakers. Something with a nice sub-woofer, and high quality, but small satelite speakers.

Um.....some high-quality network card. Not sure which one though....

12x10x32x SCSI burner (does one such as this exist?)
Slot loading dvd drive (unsure of which one yet).
I think HP came out with a DVD RAM + (the kind that can write to either DVD writing standard, well, whichever becomes standard).

Um....I'll update as I think of it
