My uncle just built a very similar rig for gaming. Take out the 400gb (he has two 72gb raptors in raid, I think 0). Also, take out one of the 7800's. And I though his was nice. That thing is amazing. With all the money you spent on that thing it should edit your photos for you. LOL

The 30 is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen / used!!!

Sweet.

Maybe you should have gone for dual opterons though, and 4gb of ram. And 15k rpm SCSI drives in raid 0 couldn't hurt... j/k :p

I'd love a new computer also, or at least more RAM - photoshop really sucks up resources if you work on 16-bit TIFF files, apparently. My A64 3000+ with only 512mb of ram is a bit slow for that.
