dual core
> 2GHz processor
2Gb RAM
7200 rpm drives
lots of USB ports
2nd monitor connection


I REALLY like having 2 drives, one for data, the other for backups. when the data drive gets full, I copy it to a new bigger drive and put the old drive away as a backup. OS changes are easier as well.

I would suggest something with firewire USB is a pretty cpu hungry slower interface. You dont give us a lot of idea of what you intend to do with your system exactly as in what sort of plugins you are going to run. I switched to a Mac system a while ago which can run any OS you want. I just go sick of hardware /driver problems. I am not suggesting you go OS X but they are PC's too now.
