I have doing research into what PC could replace a MacPro is Apple does abandon the MacPro which seems more likely with Apple’s complete shift to consumer. I had previously edited on the kick ass HP workstations, but would no longer trust them, with their waffling on the entire PC division.
Well I found these guys that create custom machines for editing. Puget Systems looks like the way to go. Especially if you go the completely Custom Liquid Cooled route.
Personally I think I would go with the new Core i7’s instead of Xeons (I love being able to have multiple CPU’s for rendering in After effects, but the price is ridiculous and then you can’t go Dual SLI with your NVIDIA cards) and dual SLI with NVDIA GeForce GTX 590 for CUDA support and likely a Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme 3D, thought a Black Magic Ultrastudio Pro might just be the right solution.
