Thats is sweet. So much speed, so much desktop space.

I've got a 15" 1.5 Powerbook here, so just picture that sitting on a desk next to a printer and you'll have my picture.

Nice set up man. Tell me though, why the hell do you have 4 gigs of ram? What are you doing that you need that much?

Thanks guys... I do video for a living kinda but mostly music work, and i dont like to wait for things... so i have everything in realtime, and the Mac OS can actually utilize 8 gigs of ram if necessary, im getting more into HD video so im actually considering going to all 8 gigs of ram because i have 4 open dimms still.

ScottyB, I hate to tell people because it is a pretty ridiculous amount, i didint buy all of it at once, i have added things over time. but the total for someone to build this setup directly from apple is about $6800 not including software. or the GDrive... I did save some money buy purchasing my ram through a different source because Apple is definitely over priced on their ram.

I was a die hard PC guy for a long time then moved to Mac's about 5 years ago and i cant say i have ever been happier with a machine, wether it be just for home use or for work.

xboard32x, For the dual monitor setup all you need is a graphics card that will support dual displays and obviously another display... having two monitors kicks ass! its really convenient when i want to build something in After Effects or Motion and still be able to have Final Cut open on the other monitor.

Although i have put some serious thought into selling both of my displays and buying the new 30 inch Cinema Display from Apple... its amazing.
