<And lastly, where should I go to get my system?>
One question:
Do you have an abundance of time to waste configuring your own system?
If the answer is "no", then have someone like Jim Roseberry (StudioCat.com)
build it for you. The difference in price is nowhere near the amount of
hours you will lose from your life expectancy. DO NOT believe Pete or his
propaganda articles.

Actually, I have very little experience with building PC's.
My experience involves swapping CD-ROM drives, plugging in cards, etc.
I started opening boxes at 8pm last Thursday night, and had the system
running by midnight. But that includes 30-40 minutes of waiting for
hardrives to format, waiting for apps to install, etc. The next morning,
I popped in my Gina and MQX, moved the whole machine into my studio, and
everything worked.
I still have yet to crash or lockup.
Anyway, my only point for this post is that people shouldn't be afraid to build their own. If you do your homework and respect the advice of people who have done it, it's easy and you save a TON of money.
Plus it's a good feeling when you push the power switch and there's no smoke, and something actually comes up on the screen. :-)
On a humorous sidenote: I told someone in my band that I built a new computer this week, and he said "You mean you made all the little chips and everything?"
Uh....yeah. I made all the little chips.

I don't have a problem building my own. I just switched the motherboard
in this system. I think the only thing I haven't changed in this system
in 2 years is the floppy drive. So what do I get and where do I get it?

C'mon Ted. Go for it. You know you secretly lust for celery. <G>
There is such a thing as too good to be true, and such a thing as too good
to be ignored.

Does Jim know you're using him as an endorsee for your "cheaper by the
dozen, do it yourself" campaign?
