Looking for hardware recommendations for a nice home web development box. I think I'd prefer a AMD 64 system. Other advice is greatly appreciated.

If you are going for web development stuff, and using photoshop comes into it, i would be more inclined to go for a P4 with HT (Hyper Threading) those things really help when you've got a few applications on the go. (Along with a boat-load of RAM and a speedy harddrive of course.)

http://www.newegg.com is the by far the best place to get anything for computer building or computer stuff in general.. best prices, free shipping ... they are the best.
I will ask my friend who builds for a living what is hot now.
Get back to you.

Yeah, I already have a powerbook and an older dual G4 tower at home. I just looking for a nice custom PC for doing flash editing video etc. I was think I could get a fairly good system for around 1500-2000 bucks as opposed to spending 2500-3200 for a new Mac.
