I've found pretty much all of this to be accurate, also running on Linux full time, although I have a cheaper setup.

The really fast hard drive access time is particularly nice, especially since I regularly need to run tests involving IO-intensive database calls.

EDIT: Also, can you tell me which distro you're running?

I run I/O-intensive DB tests very often myself, and I usually use RAM-disks to speed those up a lot to allow for faster coding/testing-cycles. Obvious tip perhaps, but I thought I'd share it =o)
