I'm remembering why I normally custom build. Dell, HP, and Kehtron all won't let me customize a full machine exactly what I want without it getting real expensive.

I think I can do a barebones system from Kehtron and get the Core i7 860, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD, 5750 1GB ATI video for about $800. Maybe another $300 for a new monitor + a network card for it.

Forgot about the monitor for a moment...another thing I need to look into. I'll see what I can find...probably 23" with 2ms response time.
