Now at first glance of the thread title, some may say just get a MAC but I have a friend that approached me who is starting out her own photography company and wants to get a quote on a possible desktop to help her business.

She already has a Macbook and would like another system to store (and I would say possibly backup or mirror) her photo portfolio. Her budget is about $1000 for the box and monitor.

I have a general idea of what to get (lots of RAM lots of storage) but is there anything that is crucial for photography professionals that I need to include?

thanks in advance.
