I've bought a couple PCs through them before, so I'll probably go back to these guys:

Here's what I'm thinking of getting for a video editing PC. Total cost $2600. Any suggestions or changes?
What I was thinking was to have one smaller drive for the OS and software, a RAID-0 setup for the captured video, project files, etc, and another large drive for backups.
Should I stick with the 8MB cache on the 4 drive RAID-0 setup or go with a 2 drive RAID-0 setup for the sake of the 16MB cache?
