I know exactly how you feel Ranken... I was gonna say the same thing but my fingers got all tangled up and I couldn't do it.

Rankenfile has it right. Don't blow 18k on a comp. They depreciate way too fast. 3k should get you a good system. 5k should be your max. You'll approach a point of diminishing returns where you'll be shelling out way too much for teeny tiny boosts in performance. Save the rest at interest to bankroll your next upgrade. If you plan to sink money into a part, make it the monitor(s) their life cycle is much longer than anything else.
For 18K you could probably buy enough of those DDR2 to SATA cards and replace all your hard drives with the ultimate speed of ram. take that startup times.
Buy a 3k system, a plasma tv, and a high class escort for a couple of hours. Invest the rest.
Take you and your gf or a friend out for a nice dinner too. Other than that, make that money make money for you.
