Hi maybe I'm a dreamer, and this is my dream: I want to build multiple PCs basically only with an Asus motherboard (P8H67 something) with the new i7 2600 cpu (Sandy Bridge) and a 1T HDD, 8G RAM, cooler and power supply. Check this guy: Lukáš Duběda www.duber.cz he did this packing it all into a 1U rack unit. But it seems to me that to really focus on low cost sytems Eias Camera should be available for Linux. I am using Mac for almost evrything I do, but for the rendering I will consider Windows 7 or Linux if it was an option. Any opinion?

I am going to buy a new Mac in a moth or two, and the question is: should I invest in a Pro machine, thinking about the fact that I can have a free choice of PCI Express graphics cards, even multiple. Or an iMac 27 inch that cots half of the cheapest Mac Pro including a 27 inch screen. Or would buying an iMac pluss a cheap Windows machine with a good graphics card, using that only for slave rendering be an option?
