    Blimey, with that sort of budget I think I would have to spend £800 on a reasonable PC and blow the rest on a second hand Maserati.

    Anyway, more in the spirit of the thing...

    What do you want all those spinning discs in a workstation for? Put them in a NAS, connect it with a 10GbE network adapter. That should pump your price up a bit

    If you check out PMC's price lists, it's not hard to find speakers in the tens of thousands!

    I think i would prefer to have everything contained in one unit but may want this if more space is needed http://www.scan.co.uk/products/24-ba...ecc-ram-4x-gbe
