For those who don't want to build their own. Sell the monitor and get a better one, or not. This should handle PS and LR with ease. The only real drawback is the case is not very big, not a lot of space for more harddrives.

i7-920 cpu
12 gb ram, 6x2gb
1tb HDD
ATI Radeon HD 4670 512mb
vista home premium 64
card reader
firewire
Dell S2409W monitor
gigabit ethernet
MS Office 2007 Student edition (Word, Excel, Powepoint, OneNote)

$1300 until Aug 31, $400 off regular price

Basically my system with twice the ram. Way overkill, but way awesome. If the price suits you fine, get it. But a warning, S2409W is pretty bad compared to a 2209WA or 2408WFP, I use mine for grid view in LR or other random things.

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
