Geforce FX of some sort
2-72GB 10,000 RPM SATA WD Raptors
Dual 22" Lacie CRTs
+ other misc parts

This is when you must do what's for the better good and swap out your home pc parts, put them in the new case, and leave work with a bag full of goodies.

I'm a photo retoucher/painter at a professional photography studio. The work isn't that fun but this'll make things so much easier to handle. ;)

You do realise that this will make your home PC seem hellishly slow, right? ;)

Ya right, you don't work, you play RPG's on a minimized window all day long.
