Larry,
For photo editing I bought a Mac Mini with 8GB RAM, a Dell 24 inch monitor, and
a 1TB firewire 800 external hard drive for under $1K.
the Minis are great; they are extremely quiet and low power; the base model has
somewhat wimpy "integrated graphics" but the next model up (2.5GHz dual-i5) has
a decent GPU; if you mainly use Lightroom, the GPU doesn't matter and the
quad-i7 in the "server" may be the best choice; one downside to the Mini is
that the drives are a bit on the slow side, and hard to change; a Thunderbolt
external SSD-based drive (of which there are yet few choices) would fix that
but would drive up the price quite a bit
