Without consulting my trophy wife, I decided to check out NewEgg to see what the components of the Ultimate Developer Rig are down to, price-wise. Here's what I found:
I'm absolutely blown away. I mean, we're talking about a price difference of nearly $400. That leaves room for a few choice upgrades like moving to 8GB of ram. All that I have to do now is get my trophy wife to sign off on it.

If feel a bit behind and need to catch up on WPF, this is the book.
Great book on F# containing from Beginner to Advanced. It even has chapters on more arcane features of the language, such as Computation Expressions and Quotations.
Because this book provides source code in Standard ML, it's a fantastic resource for learning F#. One bit of warning: this book does not teach classic data structures. While structures such as binomial heaps and red-black trees are presented, it is assumed that the reader already knows and understands them.
