[Pc_Support] Hardware recommendations.

OK - there has beena lot of useful info here so far - thanks Guys.

Let's try approaching this from a different angle.

If you could buy the system of your choice, and had a budget of around
$2k (I was told to aim for around $2k, although the Dell they were
talking about was $2,347 so I probably have a bit of freedom there -
let's ass-u-me that $2k is the 'soft' limit and $2,347 is the 'hard'
limit).

What would YOU buy, and why?

I'm more interested in pre-built systems here (mainly due to time
constraints) but would consider building myself if the difference was
sufficient to make it worthwhile.

My gut feeling is that I would be better off with a single, high-GHz
CPU rather than a dual-processor box.

All I need is the system unit - I already have a screen, keyboard,
mouse, etc.

Ozz.
