Over 6K on a Mac? What all did you purchase? The public wants details!

I edit photos all day so hopefully it will be fast. hehe

I couldn't justify the extra $800 for the 3.00 Ghz so I added extra ram instead.

2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
4GB 667 DDR2 FB DIMM ECC-4x1GB
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s drive
500GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s drive
16x SuperDrive DL
Airprt Extrm & BT 2.0+EDR
Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mse
Mac OS X
Country Kit

and the 30in HD Display helped out some. :)

Fair enough, you can never have too much ram.. That's probably what killed the cost.. I'd imagine 4gb is pretty expensive.

I know about the ram costing more at apple but I wanted it all to be covered under warranty. If anything goes wrong for any reason I don't want to have to wonder if it's the ram and start taking it out. :)

So what everyone seems to be saying is for only using photoshop and lightroom this machine is an overkill?
