Dell XPS 730 PC - $1,495 shipped
 
I have been a long-time laptop user, but in late November 2008, I decided that I wanted a killer/loaded desktop system for performance reasons - and for a video card that could drive a 30" monitor at its maximum resolution. Truth is, I couldn't pull myself from the laptop, so this beautiful gaming/video-class PC has been practically unused.
 
This unit has spent its short life under my studio desk. Aside from a little dust, it is mint. And, with the "Aluminum with Clearcoat Chassis" and LED lights, it looks awesome. Note: this is not a small tower system (weighs over 63 lb).

This system cost me $2,169.75 plus tax. The remainder of the Dell warranty should take care of any problems that arise, but it is working perfectly right now. Here is Dell's description of this system. 
 
Sold: Canon 220EX Speedlite - $55 shipped
Includes case. The manual is missing at the moment.
 
Sold: Gitzo G-1518 Mk2 Carbon Fiber Rapid Column - $69 shipped
I used this in a Gitzo G1548 tripod. In great shape but shows typical slide-marks. The G1518 typically sells for $150 new.

 
Sold: Dell Ultrasharp 3008WFP 30" Wide HD/HDMI Flat Panel Monitor - $975 shipped
 
Incredible, like-new, barely-used. It is an amazing monitor that I am reluctant to part with. I purchased this monitor on 1/29/2008 (remainder of 3 year warranty in effect) to go with a loaded Dell XPS 730 gaming/photo/video-editing PC (next item), but never made the switch from my beloved laptop. The monitor was used very, very little and works/looks like new. I even kept it covered while not using it.
 
My laptop will not drive the full 2560 x 1600 resolution of this monitor. A Display Port or Dual Link DVI-D compatible video card is minimally required for this resolution. I am including the required Dual Link DVI-D cable (took 8 hours on the phone with tech support to discover that Dell does not ship this monitor with this DVI cable version). Here is Dell's description of this monitor.
