Here's what's in my Newegg shopping cart right now, based on reading this forum and discussions with Genzai. This is to replace a G5, run Lion, and keep my PCI HD Accel2 hardware:
JetWay JNAF92-Q67 LGA 1155 Intel Q67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
GeIL Black Dragon 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10660)
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850
Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive x2
Sony Optiarc 24X DVD Burner, Bulk Package Black SATA Model AD-7280S-0B -
COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS700-PCAAE3-US 700W ATX 12V v2.3 Active PFC Power Supply
The parameters of this project are to run Lion, use my existing PCI stuff and interface (plus expand as people jettison their legacy hardware), drive two to four displays, maximum RAM instead of maximum processing horsepower, one internal system/application drive and another for sample playback. I don't need sleep, wifi, or bluetooth.
Thanks to everybody for all of their trailblazing here, and you're welcome to weigh in before I click "buy" around 5pm
