I heard Gateway has better deals then Dell...if that helps any. You can always build your own

I had mine custom made for me. God I love me comp ^_^ It's upgraded to hell. If you want my advice I say get a Pentium 4 cuz that way you won't have trouble with Premire.

Get at least an 80 gig hard drive. You'll need all that space for makin' vids.

And don't go with a Dell.

Hmm...can't think of anything else right now.

Good luck ^_^

If you have lots of $$$ buy alienware

*cough*overpriced*cough*

If you can build it yourself that can save a fair amount of money but otherwise just stick to the major name brands.

Alienware sucks.

My dad custom builds all of our computers. For example, he just got me new parts.

AMD Athlon XP1700+ (Thoroughbread Core)
Abit KG7-RAID
512MB PC-2100 DDR266MHz Kingston
AOC Copper Shim for AMD Athlon / Athlon Tbird / XP / Duron
Thermaltake's Volcano 7 Cooling Fan / Heatsink
Thermaltake's "Active" Memory Cooling Kit

Cost around $250-$300. All parts off of eBay. Plus I have:

120GB Western Digital 8MB Cache 7200RPM - $130 off of eBay
40GB Western Digital 2MB Cache 7200RPM $80 at Sam's
Creative Labs Riva TNT2 32MB AGP - $65 off of some I-net store
I/O Magic PC-PVR TV Tuner / Capture Card PCI - $50 off I/O Magic Store
CTX CRT Flat-Screen 17" Monitor - $200 at Sam's
Mini ATX Case - $50 off of eBay
Artec Lansing AVS300 Speakers - $35 at Sam's
HP 9500i CD-RW (12x8x32) - $200 at Sam's
Sound Blaster PCI128 - $35 or so off of eBay
Internet Keyboard Pro MS - $50 at Sam's
Intellimouse Explorer Optical - $50 at Sam's

Add all of that up, and I have about $1200 in this thing, plus my orignal motherboard and chip (AMD 450MHz and Tyan mobo) so add another $150 on, plus my old old eMachines mobo and chip (AMD 333MHz and some crappy mobo with monitor and all that for $500, was a complete PC by the way) so I have around 2 grand invested in my l33terz DV editing systemz.

Hmm....not to add anything but if you have the cash why not buy a Falcom Mach V instead? It has some of the fastest machinery under its shell but of course it is designed for gaming, not specifically movie making.

My Suggestion:

Any cpu with above a gig
256 ram
120 gig
video capture card
fast internet card
more as you like or hav ethe moeny for

/end
