Looks like it'd be good to build this along the lines of a gaming machine then. I expect corrections, but, assuming TS is in the USA, here's a good start to the hardware. This should
(hopefully) save others some searching. All top-of-the-line stuff, AFAIK:
CPU- Core i7 980x (Same CPU, different places...both currently out of stock)
