But, since you are talking big money for the MacPro, I thought you deserved a chance to take a look. The company I refer to is Velocity Micro, in Richmond, VA. www.velocitymicro.com Their site shows two expensive machines built for videographers. You might talk with them about building something less exotic for your work.
