I guess Troy will have to double up to make up for you then. :|


That shouldn't be a problem. I can vouch that Ryan knows the drill for proper AX drinking procedures.


If I stumble in the room and pass out before the AMV Chef, Ryvannis will take my place!

I dunno who'll clean my puke, though. :ying:

This is the equipment that AMV Chef will be using for at least the next few years.

The equipment is as follows:

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600 3.4ghz Processor
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series CAS-7 F3-10666CL7Q-16GBXH Memory (4 x 4GB = 16GB)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ - 1TB HDD
ASUS ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5 Geforce GTX 560
AOC E2343FK 23" Monitor 1920x1080 resolution

Yes, boys and girls, now you've got the info on how to build your very own AMV Chef approved editing rig. :P


16gb of ram and a GTX 560 are a little too much IMO but its your budget. those should last a good while at least ;)

They were designed to be overkill so that they won't go obsolete anytime too soon. We'll probably be sticking with these units for at least three years, maybe five if I throw 32gb in them down the road.

Big thanks go to AX Live for these machines. Their production team (which I'm part of) gets them during the off season, who will be using them pretty heavily. AX will get their money's worth. To prevent excess wear on the drives though, the AMV Chef drives will be pulled and stored until the following year.

32gb is way too much (i guess it depends on what AX Live does with them... what the hell is AX Live and what do they do?), you're going to be wasting money unless you plan on running everything off ram drives.. The current setup should last you 5 years easy and most likely even longer.

Depends on how big of a resource pig Windows 9 or CS8 is by that time. :)

AX Live is a weekly webcast put on by the SPJA. There are side projects planned that will require the equipment.

New news:

The machines will be equipped with the new CS5.5.

Optimally I'd prefer CS5 or even CS4, but we're going with the new version because Adobe offers a pay-by-the-month version of it. We're purchasing a one-month license for each workstation.

There aren't that many differences between 5.5 and 5 other than they got rid of Soundbooth and put in Audition. it's almost not worth the upgrade.

Footage has been decided. We are using the first three and last three of each series, EXCEPT the final episode.

For example, for a 12 episode show such as Taruto we are providing episodes 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, and 11. Bottle Fairies is an exception, the entire series for it will be provided.
