probably have to look into small mainframes first, but if I was gonna build something with PC parts Id start with a quad processor tyan mobo, a terabyte of storage using all high end SCSI, about 16 GB ram, nothing special graphics card wise--maybe a matrox 3 head card, 1 gigabit net connection, at least 4 dvd-rw drives, 1 terminal with 3 monitors.........no need to waste a bunch of cash on a gaming rig, those are cheap to build |
