Need help building a system

Hi guys
My work has given me the task to build a pretty decent system. I was thinking of getting a dual processor motherboard can any of you recommend any? I wanted to run dual AMD 64bit CPUs preferably. The budget is about AUD$2-3 thousand for the box.

The main use for the system will be 3d animation/rendering, video editing/rendering. Alot of system intensive stuff, we want a system that can take alot of sh*t basically.

If you have any other reccomendations for the system let me know.

Cheers,
Eyes0nly
 
Is that in Australian dollars? Here's the core components:

Yeah thats Australian dollars, I did find a few dual processor amd motherboards on the Australian giga-byte website, but I was looking more for socket 939, and with more than 1 PCI slot.


**EDIT** I was looking for dual processors motherboards not dual core processor, but I might look into this.

This case totally rocks in terms of strength and cooling:

COOLER MASTER Praetorian 730 RC-730-SSN1 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

to go along with this good power supply:

Dual core Athlon 64's (X2) work like multiple processors. It has two cores on one die making multitasking more efficient without slowdowns we're likely to see on single core CPUs.
