Building A High-End Gaming Workstation

Alan writes "What's the best platform for playing games *and* doing work? That's the very question FiringSquad tries to answer in the sequel to last year's short but popular workstation building article. This time, they've went with a "no-budget, but don't waste money" approach. There are a dozen products reviewed in the article, some never before reviewed on the 'net, and this time, there's no system building detail left untouched. Discussed are AC line conditioners, 2D graphics performance, and more. This more than 12,000 word article is the most detailed article ever in its genre. "

God Box = Dual G5

[caveat]

Well, really. I'm surprised Ars didn't at least mention, if you don't want windows, you can get a God Box off-the-shelf from apple. PCI-X, GHz FSB, SATA, dual procs in the same class (Ars uses 2x3GHz Xeons), dual flatpanels (and nicer, too :P), all the same bells and whistles PLUS 64-bit goodness...prebuilt for less (i could be wrong, i didn't spec them both out to check..)
