If you had $5000

What kind of computer build would you get?

Prebuilt or custom I want to see all of them.

Well of course a Mac Pro with a display and some software

I would buy an IBM Aptiva with a 13" CRT, 8mb of ram, a 1gb hard drive, quad speed cd-rom, 3.5" Floppy, and a SB Sound card. It is 1994, right?

Haha, coming from you that does not surprise me one bit.

I'm trying to find a nearby Mac reseller since the closest Apple Store is 250 miles away

The GTX 295 is the dual card; the GTX 285 is the single core card, based on the GT200b architecture.
