Alrite. I was going to buy a 20 inch imac with 4 gb of ram and 500 gigs of space with a 2.4 ghz processor. Then i headed over to tigerdirect and customized a pc from scratch with a quad core processor, 4gb memory, 500 gb storage, 512mb video card and it turned out to be under 2000$.
I was wondering about all the parts that i need to build a perfect video editing pc and maybe use 'hack-in-tosh' on it if u know what i mean.
I usually use Sony Vegas 7.0 and Adobe after effects for video editing.
link to my videos here to see where im coming from. It takes hours for me to render video and i need a pc, or mac, to be able to render and run very fast.

Do you intend to use standard definition video or are you thinking of going down the high definition route?

most likely high definition.
