Not bad... but for video editing I am in the process of saving for my ultimate PC..
this is my choice.
Intel dual Processor Workstation Motherboard (physical dual) with support for the
new quad core processors
4gigs of ram
1 gig dual output video card
2 -SATA 500 Gig hard drives
Blue Ray DVD Recorder
Dual Layer DVD Recorder with light scribe
Klipsche Pro Audio THX speakers
2 -21inch CRT monitors (flat panels are not fast enough for games or video editing)
APC 1500 RS Battery Backup
Logitech Desktop (keyboard and mouse)
Last and certainly the most underestimated a big Antec File server case (SOHO) with
as many cooling fans as you can stick in it.. stay away from lights and clear cases
you want that puppy cool because Vista is an ungodly hog and you will have enough
trouble keeping your stuff cool as it is... case fans and hard drive fans and airflow
around your video card (because the geniuses that designed the video card architecture
have the heat sinks either sideways or upside down depending on the position of
the board in a case... in a tower case why would you want a heat sink upside down..
heat rises last I recall.. but anyway I degress... keep it all cool and nice and
tight with cables and cable ties.
