I've started the research part of my new machine build, usually takes a few months.
Was looking at an ATI 5970 board and noticed that they are a foot long!!! Need larger case! then my NV8800GTX blew up and I bought a NV470 GTX instead as a replacement before building.
I do enjoy the researching before spending the cash.
Was pointed to www dot pcspecialist dot co dot uk by a friend, you can specify a whole load of parts and they actually put it together for you and also give you some ideas about compatibility between parts etc.
Invoicing, word processing, accounts and such, is such a drain on the power of the modern computer!!Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Or more moderately a 6core Thuban with AMD 5870 could have been had for ca £750 from Dell last week (allsould out by now)...
On the server side, the if you can really take advantage of the parrallel core you can go 24-core where a whole computer can be had for ca (£1300
Upping the budget a little, you can go four-socket mo'bo and a mental 48coresComment
