Creating the Ultimate Developer Machine 2.0 - How can we get a 7.9 WEI Score for under $3k?

Creating the Ultimate Developer Machine 2.0. It's that time again. Pete Brown and I want to know how we can get a 7.9 WEI Score for under $3k. We enlist Larry Larsen from Channel 9 as well as Jeff Kirkham and Chris Kirk from the WinSAT team. These guys work on the WEI score itself. Can we make it happen?
