ifics 0 #1 November 4, 2003 I need some advice. I have been editing with smaller programs like Vegas Video for awhile but I am to the point where my current pc is not up to par. I would like to build one that suits editing better. Does anyone have any advice about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 November 5, 2003 What are your intentions? Small, occasional video projects or major productions? How much are you willing to spend.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifics 0 #3 November 5, 2003 Major productions (as major as a dude at my level at least) I don't want it to be shabby when I do get there though. I don't want to spend more then 3k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blazetailman 0 #4 November 5, 2003 How much computer modding experience do you have? Are you more intune in buying a computer, dell or other and install the software or do you think you could buy all the parts, motherboard, processor, ram, case, and put it together your self. I put together a 2.6 p4 with a lot of perks for about $1200. Tons of hardrive space and dvd burner. Its a good money saver if you have a weekend if you know your stuff, or a week to learn and do it.www.canopyflightcenter.com www.skydivesac.com www.guanofreefly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ifics 0 #7 November 5, 2003 I have the know how to put together my own pc. I don't want a mac because I have 2 other pc's that need to get along with my new one. I have over 40 gig's of clips between these 2 pc's, so a mac is not really what I want. I was just seeing if anyone had any opinions or suggestions regarding new editing boards and such. Thx for the info... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #8 November 5, 2003 Have a look at this company in Brighton, UK. http://www.dvc.uk.com/index.php They make custom edit setups, they obviously don't have their full specs but it might help you price up a system, or build a shopping list etc. They have links to all the makers of the boards and suchlike....

uros678 0 #9 November 10, 2003 If you have xperience building comps.... then go for it...it should be very exciting...get lot's of RAM minimal 1 Gb DDR, lots of HD space 2*120 Gb or at least 1*120GB...I wouldn't really worry on something else...every 2.0+ or less proc would work.... just my two cents... best regards, Uros Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
