Hey all,
Well, as luck turn out, I've come across a Mac Pro on C-List in the past few days . It has 2x4-core Nehalems in it, all running at 3.0ghz(so 8 cores total), 16gb ram(1033mhz), 1TB HD space(2drives, 1x250gb, 1x750gb), Nvidia 512mb Quaddro FX video card, and comes with a fresh install of Lion! Not to mention having full CS5 suite installed on it, for $1200!!! It was a little "taller" than my original budget, but I sold a few things off locally to help fund the rest of it, and it seems to be a very happy camper opening and rendering some 2gb(starting file size) scans from 8x10 film!
I appreciate all of your efforts in helping me with this little project, but now that I can run windows(windows 7 pro came insatalled via Bootcamp in the purchase as well ), and OSX, I can get the "best of both worlds"...
now to find a suitable editing LCD monitor, but I'll need quite a few more pennies ...
