I have A LOT of extra cabbage to spend on a computer. I recently inherited some money. I am thinking of building what I'd consider to be a top of the line system. I gave myself a 10K budget. Here is wha I've come up with. Anyone have any suggestions? I still have to add a RAID card because I plan on using RAID 5 for the Raptor Drives. And I am contemplating putting two of those video cards into the system. but that might just be crazy. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
