My home lab setup:

Intel i7 3.0 Ghz
Asus Sabertooth X58 motherboard
24 GB of Patriot Memory
Kingston SSD 64 GB HD
Samsung 1 TB HD 7200 RPM
Corsair 650W PSU
Antec Case
Acer 23 inch wide screen monitor
XFX Radeon HD 4350 512 MB video card

I already have Windows 7 x64 and Vmware Workstation to run all my operating systems. The machine is great! I think if I could change one thing I would probably have gotten two of the SSD drives and ran a Raid 0. I forgot the amount of space Windows 7 x64 needed (especially after updates!) so im running around 5 gigs free which is fine since all my VMs are on the TB drive.

I did the tweaks for SSD that I got from this site:
TweakTown’s Solid State Drive Optimization Guide :: TweakTown USA Edition
