I'm thinking of buying a decent desktop machine for home, since I haven't had one at all for a couple of years (I just use a Thinkpad) and I'm starting to miss some it.

Must have

 * Decent CPU that supports hardware virtualisation
 * Decent graphics card that can drive at least two LCDs
 * Two LCDs, as big as I can afford
 * Probably 4G RAM, maybe 8G
 * Two disks, smallest that can be bought (storage is on the fileserver)
 * DVD writer

Would be nice

 * Gigabit network

Ideas

 * Shuttle PCs look good. The only slot I'll need is for a graphics card
 * I'll be using Debian or Ubuntu Linux and I'm told nvidia graphics cards works best at the moment
 * I'm biased towards an AMD CPU at the moment, but not tied to it
 * The Shuttle SX38P2 Pro looks ideal
