Do you just have far too much money? Or are you setting up to do
specific HD work?

I'm setting up to do some specific HD work.

Please advise!

Is this system too much?

It's only around $1500.

Talk soon!

Your getting all that for $1500!!! I wanna party with you man!

There really is no such thing as 'Too Much' when it comes to processor
horsepower for rendering video.

The video card is not so important. Very few programs will use a video
card processor to aid in viewing previews, and few demands are put upon
any video chip for simply viewing video. You might want to add a second
monitor some time, or want to send the output to an external monitor to
check how it be seen on broadcast, so manybe something supporting dual
with an additional svid output.

There is nothing better than checking the software that you intend to use
for it's requirements before you setup a new computer.

Ok. At your limited price point why not a single
Dual Core?

WD EIDE (Ultra ATA/100) - Gack!

Gack, too! Try Audiophile 24/96. Much depends
on your speaker monitor setup.

Just adequate, if using a high end video card.

Just adequate, wide screen digital LCD would
be a better choice... but it's a budget braker at
your price point.

Depends on what capability is needed for
your work and your budget.
