A killer machine is a must for the TechEducator

The other day I was asked what would a good machine look like for the tech savvy teacher... Here are my thoughts:

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t - i7-920 processor (te open 34 lesson plans at once, all with video embeded), 750Gb 7200 RPM HD (enough space to have all the goodies a good teacher always has), Win 7 Professional (are we, or are we not?) 64Bit GeForce GT 220 graphics card (to teach in SL), 9Gb RAM, Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (to hear the kids in the back channel), 15-in-1 memory card reader (to be able to get all the homework in all the formats with no blinks or overburns), LightScribe DVD/RW, 16X DVD ROM player (forget the paper labels or the permanent markers). Ethernet 10/100/100 card (is all about connections), Multimedia keyboard & HP optical mouse (to be wired does not mean to be tangled and trapped by your corded mouse).
