Hi all,

I love my Vue Pro and am considering getting a dualie. If I didn't have such a big investment of dollars and years in Windows PCs, this would probably be the perfect time to switch to a Monster Mac. Alas, it's just not practical right now. So I could use some advice.

Reading the forums here and elsewhere, I got the impression that Dual CPUs with VPro is definitely worthwhile. However, aside from expensive Xeons, I don't see much in the way of pre-fab Dual CPU systems coming from my local "Generic" suppliers where I usually get my stuff.

Is this mainly still a custom or DIY marketplace? Basic Workstations with dual Xeons @ 3MHz are pushing $5K. Is there a more economical way to do this?

I've been customizing systems for years, but have never built one from scratch. I've always had at least a "bare bones" to start with, and the idea of the building a screamer from the board up is a bit overwhelming. Plus, I don't really have the time to do it right.

I could sure use some practical advice here. Thanks.

R.
