Apple will almost certainly announce a bunch of HD-related stuff next week, so blu-ray support will be a lot clearer then.Personally, I&#039;d ditch the SAS drives; for $2150 you could buy 4x 10k RPM SATA Raptors ($700 total) and RAID 1+0 them, and then buy an extra 16 GB from OWC for $800-$1550, depending on which of their choices you go with.  That&#039;ll almost certainly give you a faster system for less money.  If you decide that you really, really want to do SAS, consider buying one of Areca&#039;s cards (bootable on Mac Pros) and using a cheap external enclosure.  I&#039;ve seen 4-drive SATA/SAS enclosures that aren&#039;t particularly pricy.  That&#039;ll probably end up saving you money, and you can do it at any time, so you don&#039;t have to decide up front.  Plus, that&#039;ll let you mix SATA and SAS, so you can throw a big drive or two into the system for Time Machine.Personally, I don&#039;t know what you&#039;d do with 2x30&quot; screens, but whatever.  Al Gore seems to use 3 of them, so I guess it&#039;s possible.  I swapped 2x24&quot; Dells for 1x30&quot; HP and I&#039;m pretty happy, although I&#039;d swap for 1x36-40&quot; if they were available on the market at a high enough resolution.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wait a week.
