Seeing as I've already got a wicked laptop, I'd definitely go for a Mac Pro Quad with extra drives and 4GB of RAM.

Doing this, you will have a really powerfull and "up-to-date" Audio-Computer
for the next 5 years or so.
Spending 4000 now won t give you that.
Nothing changes and lowers it s value as much as Computers, if you want to
spend 4000, there are NICE options for the other 2000:
Fireface 400,
good Monitor-Speaker,
a nice and BIG Screen,
a good micro,
a nice Toy like an MPC, Guitar, Bass.... all will give you longer fun & help your music.
But that s just what parents would say. (They are right sometimes, i fear)
