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
