Yeah those machine are pretty strong and are made by professionals who knows Maya and most of the 3D applications. My machine is working so good, I can have all the applications I need opened at the same time. I have like 12GB of RAM and two Quad Core. And another reason why I buy it, its because of the xeon chipset, which enable me to upgrade my machine up to 24GB of ram in the future, because there 12SLOT of RAM and I use only 6. And Boxx told be that there is 95% of chance this board will be compatible with the next generation of processor (like 6 or 8 Core processors).
Meanwhile those machines are pretty expensive. Also, if you buy A Quadro graphic card, you wont be able to play games with your machine. It is good only for work applications. Most of the people at home don’t want to pay that huge price for the small advantages it give you. Also with BOXX, an amouth of your money will go in the support. They have an very excellent team for support and if never, for what ever reason your PC makes maya goes wrong, they’ll help you very fast. If you computer break in the first year, they’ll pay the shipping costs, and they will try to repair it as fast as they can.
If you just want to have a good strong computer for multitasking, like gaming or programming with directx, xna or whatever windows is good at, I suggest you to buy a good i7processor, with descent RAM and motherboard. and you will be as happy as with a BOXX if you dont use 3D applications extensively, and you will save a LOT of $$ and maybe use it to buy a little trip to elsewhere in the world which worth it :P. Just be aware that sometime some graphic card and board goes wrong or are completely incompatible with Maya or other software. Autodesk did some tests on that, they have a chart sticked right in the first post of this forum.
