my current workstation: 

Thermaltake level 10 snow edition case (a real conversation starter and a fantastic case to boot. http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/thermaltake-level-10-gt-snow-edition-adds-even-more-flair-to-an/)

Asus p9x79 pro motherboard, great for overclocking

core i7 3930K six core overclocked to 4.7 gHz per core

32 GB 1600mHz RAM

corsair H80 liquid cooling

256 GB OCZ vertex SSD for OS

4TB RAID'd storage (hitachi deskstars)

GTX 580 3GB 

Total build was around $2,300, parted out from newegg, amazon and tigerdirect

Teddy,

Can you give us an exact system info?

Thanks

I always turn hyperthreading off on my pc, because I can get at least 300-500 mHz improvement per core with overclocking, with more stability. Not to mention RAM requirements.

And Rob, that build is seriously starved for RAM - 16 GB is not nearly enough for CS6 with an 8 core xeon. you'd be better off going with an overclocked i7 sandy bridge six core and 32 GB RAM for much less.
My recent build, which absolutely screams, was well under $3k

   On the Mac if you have the developer tools installed, you can
   install the Processor control panel found in
   (/Developer/Extras/PreferencePanes) and toggle hyperthreading on
   and off.  In my AE tests (mostly involving OpenEXR), keeping
   hyperthreading on always gave better performance.
