Any interest in a turnkey edit solution?

[systemoverblow'd]

Any of you guys know any video editors looking for a complete turnkey edit solution *cough* software included *cough*? This is the suite that built my business and now that I am back working for the man I figured I don't need it kicking around the house anymore. 30+ feature length broadcast shows were cut on this thing, less than 2 years old.

If there is interest I will write up a list of components and price tonight. Only caveat... NE mags only because this thing isn't being shipped. It came over the course of 5 days and took up a corner of my room. It's just too much to pack and ship.

I am working on pics and a writeup tonight for craigslist and send out to my video contacts on facebook, but figured more exposure the better.

Well no one responded but figured I would put up more info now that I have it all settled...

Everything is less than 2 years old.

*NOT SELLING MY 4-BAY RAID, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST YOU BUY AN ESATA RAID FOR CHEAP FAST EDITING*

Building this system new right now would be $7150 before taxes, shipping and software. I am asking $4700.

I also have a Apple Power Mac Dual 2GHz PPC G5
5GB RAM
OS X 10.5.8
Acer 21" monitor
keyboard
mouse
I'll throw in an old Canon scanner as they don't make drivers for intel machines.
$500

If anyone buys either of these they can also have a PowerMac 533MHz G4 tower for free.

Thank you for not shipping outside the NE.

I don't want your stupid apple crap but those peripherals make me tingle.

Nice rig. How did you ingest footy? Would people just show up with it on a HDD, or was it firewire from a drive you're keeping?

All depended on the project. Rented a redrocket for RED footage. P2 footage was usually dumped to a nexto and injested via firewire 800. Some XDCAM footage came to me on a fw drive. I had to injest and output to tape HDCAM and that was another rented deck hooked up via SDI through the matrox.

Here is the HDCAM deck:


But yes, most of the time the cards got dumped to FW and I injested them and stored them on my external RAID. I used the bare drive dock for archive purposes. Have over 16TB of archived footage in the last 2 years on bare drives. I know, it isn't ideal but I was never in the position to go out to LTO.
