Need a powerful PC for Video work, sugestions?
 

Now i just bought a Sony Vaio, great machine!
SO im thinking the video machine should be a Vaio as well....
Now do any of you guys know anything at all about the Vaio machines and which one i should go for? course i have no damn clue LOL

And i really dont have time for the bullshit salesman talk you get in the stores either :1orglaugh

Its for video rendering and encoding btw.....
I have a ton i need to go thru so the poor thing will be put to work!

For editing I use a IMac G5 with Final Cut Pro HD.

Same thing a friend of mine uses

Im not doing editing right now, my editor is.
Its actually most for encodings but a lot of it......
so far im looking at 150 scenes that needs to have 6 different encodings

ohh and ive never used Mac so would rather not venture into that realm right now

2gb ram

Dual 19" LCD
PCIe Quadro 128+


I love upgrade time.. everything you wished you could have but wasn't even available last time seems so fucking cheap heheh I've got 500gb HD and 2gb DDR ram 19" lcd etc.. Next time a 2tb drive will probably be $200.

Why not just buy the most expensive one?

what's your budget ?

build something yourself...best way to go

in the 3-5k range is what im aiming at for the moment.

Looks interesting indeed!
Ill check it out, thanks :thumbsup

single dual core amd + 2 gigs ram and a few 10k rmp hd's in a raid array should be doable in that price range.

To do video, I recommend a lot of ram(1-2 gigs), at least 2 HD of 120 gigs each, in raid, and a p4 3.0gz.

Of course, get yourself an ATI radeon 9800XT all in wonder, or better :thumbsup

:thumbsup

Im in the gaming industry and thats what I use to work ;)

The video industry is similar in a lot of areas :pimp

thanks for all the feeedback guys.
