Ah -

With all that in mind, it's much clearer...

For a home / muck around box, I go with whatever will get me where I 
want to be as cheap as I can.

I have to say I'm loving my Phenom-II box at the moment. Was cheap, has 
4 cores @ 3Ghz and works really well -0 and would eat up the the stuff 
you have discussed (depending on just how many sunrays you wanted to 
serve...)

The last box I put together ran about $1000 Aussie (no monitor) and it's 
awesome.

But- if you had the bucks, one of those quad core core i7 xeons would be 
pretty cool...

heh
