Bob,
In your original reply you said: "But you want to go to a mail order company so you can save every penny".
Like I said before, the idea of finding a local dealer did not dawn on me. I used Blackmagic Design's web site to locate a dealer in my area,
ADK Video Editing. What a great group of folks!
Myself being a software programmer and annual about things, the owner (Scott) has been very help and is quite willing to work with all my quirks! The end result is that he has priced out a very nice Core i7 system at a reasonable price.
To top it off, I spend some time on the phone with another gentleman that explained the whole IO card issue to me and continued my education on the whole world of HD video editing.
Could I have saved a few hundred building it myself, especially now that I am clued in? Yes, but have friends and support like
ADK Video Editing is well worth the extra $$$, even for a know-it-all like me :)
Bob, thank you for your above statement, you are the man!
Sam
P.S. I think
ADK Video Editing does mail order too, if you are looking for a system, you might want to look them up.
