I have an unlimited budget, any ideas on a complete setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you have an unlimited budget, why not go with the Zalman TNN-500AF? Load it up with a nice AMD X2 or wait for Conroe, and run a 7900GT or perhaps a GTX or SLI if possible.

Complete it with a well-silenced raptor and the use of external network storage, you will have silence and performance to a huge price.

if you have unlimited budget then what about this spec:


AMD Opteron Dual Core Processors
NVIDIA Nforce Professional 2200
NVIDIA Nforce Professional 2050
AMD 8131 PCI-X Tunnel
Dual Channel DDR-400 Reg ECC
. . (8 DIMMS) up to 16GB
(4) Serial ATA 3Gb/s ports
. . (RAID 0, 1, or 0+1)
(1) Parallel ATA IDE interface
. . (2 devices)
(2) Nvidia MAC Gigabit Ethernet ports
Enhanced AC'97
. . Front Panel Microphone + Audio Out
(2) IEEE 1394a Ports:
. . (1) Front, (1) Rear
(6) USB 2.0 ports:
. . (2) Front, (4) Rear
(1) Serial port
Floppy drive
600W Power Supply



Expansion options:
(4) 3.5" hard drive bays
(2) 5.25" drive bays
(2) PCI Express x16 (one from NVIDIA 2200, one from NVIDIA 2050)
(2) PCI-X 100 MHz
(1) PCI-X 133 MHz

You might want something similar to the Maya workstation I build for a client:

Change the HDs to 2 150Gb Raptors and add another 7900GTX!

As a rule, I don't help people who say they have unlimited budgets. Sorry.
