I do have a link! Specifically looking at a custom 5950 or 5760. After a more careful reading, turns out it's really unclear if the AMD is single or dual core, but I think dual vid cards will offset that quite a bit for my purposes.

If you poke around at all, you'll notice the dual card config sports a 19" widescreen, and is an AMD cpu. Single card config is 17" and has an Intel dual core cpu.

It will be my primary workhorse, whichever it is. I admit to some heat concerns forcing the comp to reboot, but I have no intention of resting this monster on my lap. In any case I think I can manage some scrap metal and a fan to make a heatsink to rest it on.

It might come down to how badly I get screwed on VAT and shipping compared to how much I can get away with spending. If Sager ever comes up with some concrete numbers.
