I'm in the process of having my dream image processing computer built.

It'll be unconnected to the web - on purpose. A virgin she will always be! File transfers from this to web connected machine via rewritable CDs.

What hardware would you get? Feel free to be extremely specific.

Motherboard brand?
Type of and amount of RAM?
CPU?
Amount of HD, type of disks, etc?
DVD burner brands?
What type/brand of monitor?
Video card?
Etc etc etc...

What software?
XP pro?
Latest P.S. obviously.
Color profiling software? (important!)
What thumbnail viewer? (important!)
What other software?
Business management software?
Etc.

Thanks so much in advance.

I have a supergeek buidling it from hand picked cherry primo cutting edge parts, but I want to compare his choices with yours.

Totally custom, only purpose is digital camera image processing.

2005 is the year I go "pro" officially - as in the majority of my income will be derived from photography.

My current system has a 8GB HD and 196MB RAM, Win98... you see why I need to upgrade!
