For 2400$, eh? I am sure that includes Core 2 Duo X6800 with Geforce 8800GTX cards in SLI and 42" LCD display... For 2400$ it would cost if you had someone do it... It is not like you cannot do some very good bank note copies with some personal printers on proper paper these days, so are the options of 3D imaging much closer than they used to be. I personally adore more the 2.5D imaging that works in layers - by melting powder together (optical heating). With proper powder this can be done in EMC easily too.
