My boss just approved getting new PCs in the office. I need some specs for what would be a nice video editing PC (and large format photoshop work). I'm not sure yet what kinda buget i'm dealing with, but i'm looking for bang-for-the-buck.

Something comparable to the specs of a Mac Pro would be adequate.

Yeah, I wish I could just run a Mac. That would be simpler. We're already a PC shop though.

How/where would I start to find out how much it would cost to build a PC with comparable specs to a Mac Pro? I'm curious to see how much cheaper it would be to get the same machine built (identical specs, bus speeds, everything).
- somewhere like ebuyer would be a reasonable place to look for the componentslukusW

- they wouldn't approve them - but since os x now runs on intel - there's a hackintosh movementlukusW

Grab the Mac Pro specs, then hit a PC builder's site that lets you select your components and match them as best as possible. You should be able to match 95% of it.

How do you spec the knob-gobbling-inducing sexual charisma of a Macintosh?
- by exfixiating yourself with a mighty mouse cord.ETM
- Is that the extra 5% that ETM is talking about? Or is it the built in RAID system?monospaced
