A few things to know...
Hard Drive~I need a lot of hard drive space. Some of my audio files can reach 300GB prior to compression ^^ And don't even get me started on my sample libraries.
USB~I use external peripherals A LOT, especially external hard drives and MIDI controllers.
Memory~My audio applications like to suck up RAM, so 24GB is sort of my minimum.
Monitors~I don't need 3D, though I do put dual-monitors to work. Especially in audio applications.
