<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Overall the system that I have is a Dell Dimension 8100, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Pentium IV 1.7Ghz</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> processor, 1Gb (RDRAM) RAM, ACARD Ultra160 PCI SCSI </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> controller, Netgear</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> FX11 fast ethernet card, one Pinacle firewire card (which </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> comes with Adobe</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Premiere 6.0 - MUCH cheaper buying Premiere this way than buying the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> bloody software seperately), and a Geoforce 2 GTS AGPx2 graphics card.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I currently have a 40Gb ATA100 hard drive in the HD bay. Room for one</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> more hard drive on top of that (although I'll be buggered if </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I can figure</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> out how to remove the right side panel of the case!). Three </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> spare 5 and a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> quarter inch drive bays, and one combo Samsung DVD-ROM/CD Rewriter</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> occupying the top drive bay.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> The current hard drive is split across Windows XP and Red Hat </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Linux 7.2. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I need at least 70Gb to do decent editing (namely my wedding </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and honeymoon</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> videos which occupy the best part of 15 hours worth of DV film which I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> need to trim down into something much more watchable that won't bore</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> everybody to tears).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You have three 51/4 inch drive bays that you can stich three 18Gb disks which is close then all you need to do is get the last one into the 3 inch bay and hey presto.</FONT></P>
