Maybe eventually Ill buy one, but for right now I enjoy what I have.

I do shoot photos, and I do dabble in Adobe software, however I think Macs are overpriced.
Amen Brotha! Mac's are overpriced and over-rated!!! 10x over. A PC that costs atleast half of a Mac can peform just as well or out perform a Mac. Only reason people say a Mac is better is because the average PC user uses a MS operating systems which in fact is what causes most PCs to crash or have errors. Take that same PC and load Fedora, RH or Debian and guess what no problems. Anyway George the setup looks great! Similar to mine. I run a C2D 6600 4GB DDR2-800 3x 150GB raptors running raid 5 and dual GF 8800GTS in SLI on an eVGA board. Keep us updated on its progress
