Application Benchmarks – 2d and 3d Rendering
The first benchmark is a 2D image render using Photoshop CS3. In this test a 96MB TIFF file is processed with 6 filters. The score is the time it took to complete the benchmark—faster is better!
The 3dStudio MAX results are very, very close, showing that this benchmark is very dependent on CPU speed.
The slight CPU speed difference is also demonstrated with the Cinema4D benchmark.

Although I fully appreciate the "bang for your buck" approach to this sub $2K build, if you're going to come under budget by over $600 then surely there's room for improving things a little bit more? I thought this was "the best you can get for $2,000" not necessarily the "best performance per dollar for $2,000"
Certainly if I had budgeted $2,000 and came under by that much I'd certainly up a few things simply because I had the room - 80GB OS drive (Raptor?) and upping the graphics to paired GTXs maybe? Even then you're probably still $300 under...so throw in a dedicated sound card.
I agree with the other comment to an extent. However i do thing that this is a very solid build, that if you used the $2000 budget would be phenomenal in performance terms. Perhaps factor in an extra water pump and graphics blocks to get the liquid cooling to the GPUs too? Perhaps even upgrade the graphics cards to HD4870s or similar.
Dedicated soundcard is also a must in my opinion. Apart from those things, good choice!
Apologies if I gave the impression I didn't find this to be a solid build. I was simply voicing an opinion that there's money left over in the $2,000 budget so a little squeezing of extras could've been done. Certainly I always use a dedicated OS drive and at 25GPB for 80GB Seagate Barracuda you can't argue!
