My current Windows desktop is a Dell Precision T3610 with quad-core E5 Xeon, ECC RAM, dual Quadro and a SAS2 controller. It goes hard! It might be cheaper to build your own, but then you lose out on the three year on-site service contract.
edit: you probably won't get a Xeon in anything portable - it's workstation class and needs power and cooling to match
