mga bro.

its been said..multiple thinking heads is way much better than a multitasking one.

so ..kindly help me mga bro..

this is what im thinking for that price..for vegas and adobe...not for gaming

an intel c2q6600 11390.00

an MSI P6N SLI-FI nForce 650i 2pcie/S/L 6030.00 is this mobo gud enough?

2 x 160gb Western Digital SATA 8mb in RAID0 (16mb cache total - drive c 4480.00

1 x 500gb Seagate Barracuda SATA 16mb : files HDD 5560.00

1 x Corsair 2GB XMS DHX 800 (1gb x 2) dual channel kit 2810.00 are these RAMS gud enough...

1 x PC HD2600XT 512ddr3 128bit dvi 4680.00

1 x Mars 337 / 834 A4 K/M 500w all colors CASING 1610.00

1 x firewire PCI Card : CDRking 250.00

1 x I-Master 750w 8-socket circuit breaker AVR 780.00 they dont have time to go to manalili to buy the servo.


they wanted to buy an Imac @ 67K for that purpose..i think its too hyped up for that price..and these specs is way much better i believe..in terms of power and off the shelf upgradement..

mga ugma mi pali sa pcx.

for the monitor..we'll buy 2 x 21" SONY Digital CRT from Fastwin @ Php 2500.00 each

overclock or not ?

ditch the nforce board, get a P35 and never turn back..

Abit/Asus/MSI w/c ever brand you prefer is good enough, 160GB for a video editing machine is quite small.. the best price/capacity harddrives now are both 320 and 500gb

For the videocard you can get something cheaper as it does nothing in terms of rendering.

hmm digital CRT's that means DVI ?

1 x Corsair 2GB XMS DHX 800 (1gb x 2) dual channel kit


video editing.... get 4gb ram

Mac pro..... thats the rig for video editing....

Mac pro..... thats the rig for video editing....

Since we are referring to hardware, why is the mac pro "the" rig for video editing ( aside from having Final Cut ) ?

that wud be too hyped and expensive bro..

they are just starting a local video anchorship about lifestyle and marketing

thanx for the input bro earlz..

yeah its a raid 0 160+160gb sata with 8mb cache for a total of 320gb with 16mb cache thats much faster than a native 320gb for tha OS disk and scratch temp file for capturing..

and a 500gb seagate with 16mb cache SATAII

yes bro..sony trinitron Gseries 500 are digital capable.according to their site..anyways its available in 3 series ..E G and i for got the other one..

i used both E and G type b4 ..

e series for home and gaming..while the G series are for graphics and multimedia

as for videocard..we wud want a decent card with inherent HD capability to handle the 2 x 21" monitors and maybe another TV for fly-out preview..

tis is just a starter rig...

as for memory..yeah..we were thinking of having it in 4gb..but sadly XP or vista 32 bit can only utilize 3.2gb ++ of the 4gb.

overclock or not ?

we wont overclock it bro stym.

but i was just thinking...

is the 500watts enough for the job? since its a generic type apil sa casing.

i had my q6600 overclocked to 3 ghz..
using only a generic psu 500W, the one included in the casing... hehehe..
so far so good, its been running 24/7 @ 100% load ...
i'd recommend a p35 mobo.
