Are these all systems you plan on building, or is this just a "wishlist" guide?

There's a lot of difference between high end builds and it's still budget based. A $5k system vs a $10k system vs a $15k system will see drastically different hardware choices and trade-offs. Even in "dream" system builds. The $5k system wouldn't have dual Xeon processors, for example, and the $15k system would probably have five 30" monitors, which would not be on the other two systems. Consider doing more than one high end build based on different budget levels. Some people actually do spend that much on a computer.

This guide has been put on hold because of Bulldozer.
If SB-E is to come out within a few months of Bulldozer I might delay it even further.
