We didn't to bad for ourselves this time around. Although our high-end professional 3D system totaled to $2,521, the system is actually $354 less than our high-end professional 3D system was last June. As configured above, the high-end professional 3D setup should prove to be among the fastest professional 3D systems out there. We hope you like the more aggressive component selection used in this review. Look for future high-end buyer's guides to employ the same method.
