Dude just run VMWare on your current Macs. No point getting another separate PC for things like that.

What year did you have it? The newer ones seem pretty good.

Last year, better off with an i5 or the new AMD bulldozer chips depending on how much of a powerhouse you need.

The fx 8350 is a pretty good cpu, that with 32GB of ram and the 7970 and using a SSD for the OS and main programs makes for a nice workstation. That's going to be my next desktop build,its somewhat pricey but should last me a while.
