My budget came in for my new workstation at the office:
8,500
HP Z series?
I can buy from any of the main vendors: Dell, HP, and so forth. No Falcon Northwest, Alienware, etc. DIY is not an option.
Need dual CPUs, at least 16GB RAM, and nVIDIA cards (no ATI, as it doesn't seem to work as well with some of our stuff).
We are waiting for Windows 7 to order. So, I got some time.
