In the pasy few threads I've come to hear some intresting methods people use for editing and what they edit on - so, for the purposes of curiosity, what all do people edit with?

I use a Apple Powermac G5 ( the dual 1.85 version )
768 MB DDR SDRAM
Internal HD = 60 gig but only 10 is available regularly
225 gig external Lacie firewire external drive
100 gig USB2 Maxtor external drive

Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 is my editing suite
MacTheRipper extracts my DVD's .VOB files
MPEG Streamclip is being used as my .VOB encoder

Currently I am useing the codecs on FinalCut to do my final encodeing runthrough's

My computer. What the hell else would I edit with? Do you seriously think I'd print out each frame then make a giant flipbook AMV or something?

Har har, Req.

My machines:

Ripping/Filtering (Chrono, Homebuilt PC):
AMD Athlon64 3500+
2GB DDR400 RAM
550GB of HD space across three disks
Radeon X800 Pro

Editing (Durandal, Mac PowerBook):
PowerPC G4 1.5GHz
2GB PC2700 RAM
80 GB internal HD
250 GB HD in FW400 enclosure
Final Cut 5

I rip and filter on the PC, create uncompressed AVI clips, throw them across the LAN to the Mac, edit, export an uncompressed MOV, throw that back to the PC, convert to uncompressed AVI in QT Pro, then encode for distro/cons on the PC.

I think this thread's just a plot by TheJadeArcAngel to figure out who has good computers so he can steal them. It's a conspiracy!

My last few projects were on an old Dell notebook (Inspiron 1100) with a horrible integrated video card (no open GL support)

(Nuku)
2.4GHz P4
640MB RAM
30GB internal HDD (200GB external most projects were done on)

software:
Premiere pro 1.5 and After Effects 5.5 (though barely ever)

I recently upgraded to: (Aoi)

Core2Duo Conroe (2.16GHz/core)
2GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce 7950GT
650GB HDD (over 2 drives)

and for software:

Premiere Pro 1.5
After Effects 7.0
Photoshop CS2 (though most of my photoshop work is outsourced to my roommate still)
