This is the Dream Machine that was build by the editors at Maximum PC magazine. Do you have what it takes to beat out the american muscle?

for a dream system why on earth are they using hitatchi drives ? stick a couple of WD 150GB Raptors in Raid 0 for the OS and 4 seagate 1TB drives in RAID 6 for storage
personally i wouldn't bother with the dual boot either  I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out  One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?   |

4GB ram would be nice, along with the raptors already suggested
