Mine's a more modest setup than Shaun's: 2 x Quad-2.8GHz, 4GB, 2 x  
500G, 8800GT.  I have not gone as far as running any benchmarks, but  
in the few days I've had it, the performance is outstanding.  It makes  
my MacBook Pro look like a PDA.  Noise: because of a temporary  
shortage of desk space, the Pro is currently sitting a foot from my  
left ear at head height.  There's a uni-processor P4 on the floor  
about six feet to my right, and it's louder.  The Pro would have to be  
the quietest desktop I've owned in some time.
