back on topic, if you have all the footage you want on DVD, you don't need a TV Device, unless you want to take stuff from, say, cartoon network or something.

well, i have no experience with TV Devices, but the guides will tell you how to get footage from your DVD into a useable format (no extra hardware needed other than your DVD-rom).

As many have recommended, I strongly suggest a DVD-ROM as well as the large hard-drive you have planned. If you rip DVDs instead of capture, you should be good with just those two.

The editing may be a little slower since the Celeron is a budge chip, but with the AVS-MJPEG replacement method, you should be good. If you don't know what that is, I suggest using the guides or asking any of us. I'm sure most of us will gladly help.

Good luck!
