Intel i7-950 with 2x4 GB DDR3-1333 memory, Win7 64-bit, Radeon 5770 
video card.  Price: $1235 (which is pretty darn close to the individual 
components I priced out separately, so the place that built it either 
does it almost at cost, or gets components a lot cheaper than street price).

Can play Portal at 1920x1200 with all settings maxed out no problem. 
(That and Thief 3 are probably the only two games I have that the Radeon 
won't giggle at me behind my back for using it to run...)

Now the not-so-off-topic stuff:

running a render in POV 3.5 (since I use Moray to build scenes), not 
even a quarter done after four hours
get fed up, load the .pov file in POV 3.7 beta 39...it renders in 28 
minutes.

!!

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

a bit washed-out, though.  probably the gamma setting?  really need to 
learn how to use naked POV without going through Moray for purposes of 
animation.
