Default Is this the perfect video editing PC ?

4 dual core opterons, up to 15 drives in the box, 64 gig of ram....

That is the baddest PC I can find for editing, anyone beat that?

Price, well if you have to ask you cant afford it I guess, the site is not forthcoming on such trivial matters as price.

$51,000 jeepers, how can you manage to spend 51,000 on a pc. Even given the spec that looks a tad excessive.

A tad excessive, it's bleeding expensive.

Got a life time to save up to buy one of them.

No offense, but if anybody wants a computer with the standard specs, advanced specs, or better, I'd be happy to make it for you for half that price.

But I would definitely wait until Conroe or AMD's next offering, if you were looking to throw this much money into a computer.
