Alright I am in need of a new video editing/ animation station. This computer will never be connected to the internet it is more or less a job computer. I need a computer that will render video's as fast as possible as well as transfer data quickly. I have a budget max at 1,500 I know it isn't much but right now that's all I can afford. I have windows xp pro already so i don't need a new os. I need everything else new case and all. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Anyways in summary

1. Budget: How much money are you willing to spend on the new build?

about 1,500 I can go over but I don't want it to go way over

2. Brands: Are there any brands of components you want or don't want?

not really as long as it works well

3. Multitasking: Will you be multitasking with this computer and if so, how much?

just videos /3ds max or maya

4. Gaming: Will you be gaming and if so, how much and how new are the games?

nope no games just 3ds max which is a cpu hog(I got censored for my other choice of words)

5. Calculations: Will you be doing any intense calculations or media encoding?

video's

6. Overclocking: Do you plan on overclocking and if so, how much?

no I hope not to need too

7. Storage: How much storage will you need and what will you be storing?

2/500 gb should be fine I have external's and hd out the wazoo

8. Legacy Support: Will you need support for older hardware like parallel, serial, or PS/2 devices?

I have windows xp which i need for my sony vega's some reason they don't have a fully supported vista version yet.

9. Operating System: Do you want Windows XP or Vista, or Linux compatibility?

I have win xp pro

10. Case: Do you want help selecting a case and if so, how big do you want it?

normal tower should suffice

11. Accessories: Do you want a keyboard, mouse, or other items included?

I have the standard crap

12. Recycled Components: Will you be reusing any components you already have?

nope

13. Monitor: If you want a monitor, what size do you want and should it be widescreen?

I have a nice 21 inch it should be fine

14. Stores: Do you have any online stores that you prefer to purchase from?

newegg is my favorite quick shipping and or returns

15. Location: What country do you live in?

USA
