Thanks, Greg For what you tend to do i'll go for :- Quad CPU GA-P35 or GA-P45 mainboard as the success rate are better HD3870 or 9800GT price / performance ratio (Quadro of FireGL for 3D CAD) 8GB DDR2 would suffice 4x 500GB or 1TB for you data on (RAID 0) ** O/S on different Harddisk Pioneer DVDRW Just FYI, i'd wait till the new macbooks arrive this Tuesday to know what are the new hardware you can use...
