I was going to resist but I'll bite...

Jim, bare-bones? Come on, us über-users are craving something that will bring our mega-rigs to their knees...

Scalability; build it so the masses can run it and the power users can sell it. If your system can render 1,000 bubbles mine can render 50,000, or using a different technique it could probably be made to look like it's rendering countless hundreds of thousands... ...I know that imperfections look worse the more realistically things are rendered but that's where the artist part of the job comes in... Anyway, I'm already rambling... *smack*

My suggestion, get a 8600 based card and a Core2Duo based computer, that way you could always retire it from development in favor of a life as a HTPC...

I'll build it, stress test it, and ship it to you at cost.
