If money wasn't an issue...
What would be the specifications of your dream machine at home (workstation/server class are also possible of course, afaik they can be used at home too):
1) CPU/s
2) Mobo
3) RAM
4) Graphics
5) Storage drive/s

CPU: Intel Core i7 860 - I love the hyperthreading and overdrive feature
Mobo: Any P55 board that supports Xfire properly
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333

I would go with a fully loaded Mac Pro with the dual Xeons.
