Build your own computer. After you get the motherboard, and BIOS type stuff under your belt. Rest's a breeze.

I have built all of my own PCs for the last 5 years or so. Of all of the systems I have built my video editing system has produced the most problems. There are many different hardware conflicts to watch out for when it comes to video editing. For instance, if you are using Adobe Premiere you will want to stay away from any motherboards using a VIA chipset.

Memory management, and such things are definately a concern when building machines. Make sure you do the research on different things, and (google) searches to see if other's have had conflicts with certain motherboards or set ups. Like if there is a primary program you want to use, "MSI, KTAA-7, Premiere" and se if there are a lot of things you can find out. Some systems, chips, and boards are better for gaming. Some are better for video editing functions.
Do the research before buying equipment and save yourself a lot of headaches once you get going. Oh, and make sure you install XP as the operating system.. that is unless you want premature grey hair.
