Hard Drives: 1 x 36BG 10k RPM Wester Digital Raptor - Operating System. 1 x 320GB, 1 x 400GB 7200RPM Western Digital Caviars - Media. Removable HD caddy for backups to 3 other drives.
G card: Low spec dx9 radeon - I dont play games and my s ware does not use g card for much.
DVD Burner: Writemaster (?) 18x
PSU: Generic 450w
Case: El Cheapo.
Monitors - 4 x 19 inch CRT all at 1600x1200 - I like a big desk top as it makes editing easier.

Software used:
Sony Vegas 7
Sony DVD Architect
Windows Media Encoder
VirtualDub
I recently had this system built and it performs flawlessly. Dual core is a must for editing if you can afford it. I regret not speccing 'safe' raid for the media drives but swapping a zillion gigs of media about now would be a pain so I aint going to do it. The caddy is great, having off line backups keeps the paranoia at bay, some stuff is even backed up twice on different drives. Also note other esssentials for me, coffee, fags, very comfy chair.
