We're putting it together specifically to run some image enhancement software. What they really want us to get is a Quad AMD Opteron 280 system, but that puts the machine at closer to $18K+. My boss can squeeze pennies out of a nickel, so the likelyhood that we'll go with the quad system is pretty slim.
The funny thing is that in the end we'll likely not use the software that they're looking at and I'll end up with a screaming machine for After Effects, etc. Too bad AE doesn't support over 2Gb of RAM.
