Get a hyperthreading i7 custom build and 64bit to yo little hearts content.
potentially a viable alternative but i expect it would still come out close to the mac price. i would need 4 drive bays a decent graphics card (possibly 2 because windoze has issues with 2 colour profiles on separate screens) firewire 800 and 400 with enough voltage to power digital backs. fast bus speed/DDR3 ram (about 16gb)
i could probably live with using a PC just for photoshop but the capture software is not very well supported and is usually an afterthought as all the dev time goes on the mac version.
