Dell

[delldell]

hi all, i am planning to get a dell machine which mainly used for video and sound editing purpose for tv commercial.

currently i have the following choices from dell:

1. Dell studio XPS 9100 (525w)
i7-930, 8GB RAM, 1GB ATI RADEON HD 5770

2. Dell studio XPS 8300 (420w?)
i7-2600, 8GM RAM, 1GB ATI RADEON HD 5770

3. Dell Precision T3500
XeonW3530 2.80GHz, 12GB ECC RAM, 1GB NVIDIA Quadro 2000


i'd prefer a match of i7-2600 with a Nvidia GTX470 or 480 but dell do not offer that choices at all... and I am not sure if I can replace the card by myself afterwards as am not sure the PSU is able to support... hence, appreciate advice from you all. thanks!

Try those guys and get whatever you want for parts:

State a budget and all the parts you don't need (like monitor, OS, etc) if you want ideas.

Also the current 1155 motherboards have some issues, can you wait a little for the new ones?

I don't wanna be the one that says it...but here we go!!!!!
If that's all you want this system for is video and sound editing for production of commercials then you may want to look at the mac pro series of computers...
Macs are in every facet of magazine, news paper and video production in the industry...here is a link..... http://www.apple.com/macpro/
If you had said gaming it would be different...
Hope this helps....JQ
