Well, I looked around and the HP's at Costco gave me the most bang for the buck. After customization this is what I ordered:
HP Pavillion Elite d5000t
Intel Core 2 quad processor Q9550 (2.83GHz)
8GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel sdram
750GB 7200rpm sata 3Gb/s hard drive
512MB Nvidia GeForce 8500GT, tv-out, dvi-i, HDMI graphics card
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme sound card
15-in-1 memory card reader, 2 usb, 1394, TV video ports on front
Blu-ray writer/HD DVD player & lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless LAN card
ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with pvr, fm tuner, remote.
and a 22' LCD monitor with built in speakers
Few other specs, but I think it will handle Photo shop CS3 (once I get it) and Nero 8
The bad part is that the "estimated shippping date" isn't until June 5th. But I think I will be happier than a pig in shit when it gets here
I was going to go for a better graphics card, but it already came to $2,341 before tax so I had to draw the line somewhere.
