depends on the hardware you go with but $1,000 range is a good start. It goes up from there as your mind wants more.

Lookin' good so far. I am curious to see how road bumps might affect the hard drives. Keep up the good work.

How do you incorporate Serius or XM into the computer? Do they make PCI cards for the sattelite radio? Thabks for the info in advance. The system looks awesome.
