Does anyone have a parts list from that article in Maximum PC? I don't have a subscription but I was curious and google was no help.

You can just make up your own dream machine to fit your own needs.
I'd say
AMD X2 4800+
Abit AN8-SLi Fatality
Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB
2x Western Digital Raptor 74GB in RAID0
PCP&C 510
2x eVGA 7800GTX KO in SLi
That could be a dream machine, no need to look in a computer magazine for one. But if you really insist, maybe look around Maximium PC's website for it?

They wanted "DUAL EVERYTHING" that was the theme this year, so hence the Dual Dual-Core CPU's, the mobo with Two NForce4 Chipsets (yes, it had two chipsets, if you were wondering how they had two 16x slots - there was chipset per slot), SLI 7800 GTX's, twin plextors---etc.

Personally, I think it could have been a bit more powerful, and a lot cheaper if they had just overclocked a 4800+ X2.

7200 vs 10000
30% faster platter speed.
You can still have the big drives, just put a single Raptor in there, hell it can even be a 36er, still get tons more performance. Or if they need to stay dual, dual 74GBs.
They probably dodged SCSI because they wanted to build something PC and hardcore PC users will actually buy.

imho, scsi is overrated and too expensive for any desktop. sata is very nearly as fast and is actually properly priced.
