I've dug a little deeper through their online manuals, it looks like you also need to buy Kontakt 3 to be able to run this. I guess if you look at the current $400 discount they're offering on the DVZ software, the discount covers the expense of a kontakt 3 license(You only need one license for your two pc's).

So assuming you already have a sequencer computer that works with VST or AU you need:
1. DVZ software $1999
2. Kontakt 3 $399(price grabbed from sweetwater.com)
3. 2 PC's, minimum specs:
each needs XP pro or home, SP2
intel quad core Q6700
motherboard - Intel® DG45ID Desktop Board or equivalent
3GB 240-pin DDR2 533+ MHz DIMM memory(no benefit to use more than 4GB)
2 hard drives, one for OS, one for sampes
2 ethernet ports, at least one needs to be gigbit.

Pre built systems that meet these specs retail for around $1300, but can be had for much cheaper if you put them together yourself.

It looks like if your budget is $5000 you should easily be able to set one of these systems up if you buy the computers from a third party. The two turnkey system providers they recommend, visionDAW and pcaudiolabs don't have prices published on their websites.
