Just thought I would pose a question to the forum about what YOU think would be the ultimate home PC for Video Editing, Authoring, Capture, etc.. Nothing unrealistic , like some kind of Hollywood setup. Just a system that an avid home Video nut, like most of the Vegas bunch would benefit from. It can be home built or just a good commercial setup you know of. Think about Analog Capture, Digital Capture, Rendering efficiency, compatibility, and reliability. What kind of Video Card, Hard Drive (IDE or SCSI), Capture Card, Processor (AMD or Intel), Burner (DVD-R/RW or DVD+RW), and Sound Card would be the best for you?
My Ultimate system would be a Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz home built machine, Full size tower with DVD-ROM, HP 100i DVD+RW, at least 512MB Ram, 2 100 GB 7200RPM Western Digital HDs (IDE, I don't really understand SCSI?!?!), All In Wonder Radion 8500DV Card, Sound Blaster Audigy Internal with front panel input jacks, 19inch Monitor, Sony Digital 8 Camera, and of course VEGAS VIDEO!!!
