looks like a very cute machine you'll get there... hehe.... but if I had some $$... as a computerholic, I'd get at least 1 SCSI HDD for the system and Maya, and the other 1 or 2(regular ones) for the storage... and 2 geg or Ram is REALLY nice.. !!!.. not sure what 'Low Latency' means,.. but 800Mghz.... would go beasty!!... hehe...
