What would you do with $2500?

Ive heard rumors we might be interested in setting up a full system profile for new fleet of pc's that consists of everything, for $2500. 19" LCD is mandatory. This system will be used for 2D CAD and GIS (huge graphic files) work.

Performance is the top concern here. So far ive come up with:

Intel LGA775 3.6ghz 1mb L2 cache or 64bit future processor
2gigs Kingston pc4200 DDR2 ram (for FSB 1000 mobo)
i925X mobo PCI-e/AGP gigabit ethernet (FSB 800, want 1000)
WD 10k rpm 37gig SATA HD
~500W Antec PSU
Nvidia QUADRO4 750
19" Samsung LCD (black)
Therlmaltake VA3000 Tsunami case (black)
Microsoft Wireless keyboard + wireless mouse (black)
Sony cd-burner (black)
Floppy (black)

Now im also considering a duel proc system, or duel LCD setup, or widescreen LCD setup. How else could you guys spend that scrilla?

Click to expand...

Knowing how big some CAD files can be, I'd say dual prc. and a ton of RAM (which you already have).
 
yea, id definetly get dual xeons. and since your dealing with large files, raid 0 raptors.
 
get the logitech mx1000, If your going to be doing cad work and you dont mind wireless its a real good choice for you.... over 20x the accuracy of optical

I would also say you might want some more HD space
 
My Dad just bought the 19" HP LCD. Have to say, it's absolutely beautiful.
