So... I would have to learn some programing (C or C++) right? Do you know of a good book to learn from? On a system like this, would I be able to run app like Maya and Photoshop? I'm a student at Ringling College of Art and Design going into my senior year, majoring in Computer Animation. This year I will be working on my thesis which is a 2min 3d animated short and I need to build a powerful computer. I just priced one out through BOXX for over $10,000, but if I can build one better for cheaper, I'm all for it!!! (plus if I can use it as a small render farm it would be to a huge advantage)

Do you know of a good site for buying computer hardware through? and a site to get solid info on hardware compatibility?

Would a configuration like this be good (and more economical) for usage as a render farm for 3d animation rendering?
