Looking for good techniques to justify "great than normal" machine for developers. The company I work for buys the same underpowered $500 dollar systems for everyone, and looking for ways to prove ROI or arguments to use. Sorry, I didn't say this in the initial question, the stack is VS 2008, SQL 2005/2008. As duties dictate we are SQL admins as well as Web/Winform/WebService Developers. So its very typical to have 2 VS sessions and at least one SQL session open at the same time.

Figure out how long you spend in the edit -> build -> debug cycle, then total that up over the course of a year. Then guesstimate (with some justifiable inflation) what a good computer would do to that number. Multiply the time improvement by your hourly rate, and present it as a business case.
