Actually, I tried to get him to buy a Mac Pro but he was concerned
that he wouldn't be able to do SLI.  I should do more research into
that to see if it is possible.  With only one machine though you have
to reboot each time if you want to go from one OS to another.  With
his setup he can switch between the two machines using just keyboard
commands.

He first tried Alienware but didn't like the pricing nor what they
were offering either, then he settled on iBuyPower which had better
pricing and better quality parts.  Actually, they build from
off-the-shelf parts and don't use OEM-only stuff, so if he needs to
replace a component he can do so easily.
