Hey, I've been wanting a Mac Pro for over a year now (waiting on i7 updates)

the reason for this is so i could develop for OSX,Windows,Linux which i still do.
but, im questioning if to a Mac Pro At all. im considering getting a OCUK i7 PC & Getting a High Spec Imac for my dad. that way best of both worlds.

so i would like you to pick me out a OCUK Prebuilt
(had lot trouble with my own builds even though its fun just want less hassle now days)

What i need it to Do:
Programming
Gaming (1920x1200) High Setting if possibly SLI/XF? COD4,L4D.CNC3,HL2,CSS few more in near future
IM/Browsing
Photoshop
Drive 3x HP 24" (2 graphics cards)

What i Would like:
A nice Case with a touch of "WOW" Nice.
Fairly Quiet "Larger Fans"

Budget - Up to £3000? as i need to buy a Imac this way To.

Make it happen guys!

Graphics are good and memory leaves plenty of room for upgrade, obviously a good processor as well and its right in your price range!

And a wide range of cases which will give it your "WOW" factor

cool thanks graphics cards wise,

as i need 2 cards for 3 screens
2x 280GTX?
1x4870x2 + 4870?
1x 280gtx +260gtx?

ovb 2x280 would be fastest but is it needed? for 1920x1200?

Probably not, plus 1x4870x2 + 4870 doesn't cost you anything extra
