Video Editing Computers.

I use my trusty MacBook for most of my editing!

2012 MacBook Pro
  • 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
  • Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
  • 8GB 1600MHz memory
  • 512 GB Samsung 830 SSD
  • Intel HD Graphics 4000
Will be upgrading the RAM to 16GB soon.
Otherwise its moe then enough for my editing in Final Cut. It flies!
I use an external 2TB FW800 drive as my scratch/project disk with all my YouTube stuff on, although Im looking for a Thunderbolt drive now.

I also have a 2012 Mac Mini Server with the following Specs:
  • 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
  • 8GB 1600MHz memory
  • Two 1TB Hard Drives
  • Intel HD Graphics 4000
Used mainly as a server for Plex and other storage etc. Sometimes used for rendering as well.

Should keep me going for the next few years at least!

Hello there,

So I'm new to the forums and have been looking around and nobody has made a thread on their own personal rigs. So I wanted to start one, all you need to do is have a format like this.

So I should probably start us all off!

CPU: Intel 2600k Overclocked to 5.1 Ghz
Motherboard: AsRock Gen 3 Extreme 3
RAM: 16GB DDR3 Gskillz
Graphics Card: 2x GTX 570's
Power Supply: 850w Corsair PSU
Any Other comments: The case is a Fractal Design Refine R3, 2 screens and Logitech G510 keyboard with Razer Naga mouse!

So this rig cost me an arm and a leg, I get most of it for free because I review but currently going down custom watercooling road, so should be fun. I'm interested to see what you guys are packing. The good the bad and the ugly!

5.1ghz is kinda impossible unless you have liquid helium / nitrogen...

Compressor units for PC's are not in sale anymore and they can't keep it cool effectively

Anyways:

7200 RPM Seagate Baracuda (250gb) 3.5"

A great videocard makes the difference in rendering, I recomend Nvidia cards for the CUDA.

There are deticated cards aswell
 
My computer is a multi-purpose station, not only does it render videos, it plays games, and is the central heating source for my room.

CPU: Phenom II 955 (stock at 3.2gHz) was O.Ced to 3.8 at one point, but it wasnt stable enough for my liking. and this thing throws out heat like a boss.
Motherboard: Asus M4A78T-E, AM3 socket mobo, yeah my rig is pretty old, was origonaly built in 2009.
RAM: Geil Black dragon 1600mHz ddr3 (2 X 4.00 Gb)
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radion HD 7950 the second newest part of my pc, pitty the cpu is probubly bottle knecking the poop outa this badboy...
Power Supply: 600w SILENCEpro cooler-master semi-modular power supply. Does the job. hasnt blown up yet. allways a good thing.
Case: Cooler master HAF 922
Any Other comments: Storage: 120gb Corshair SSD(boot drive), 2TB raid 0 array (2 WD RE3 drives) , 500gb WD blue (random storage drive). sound provided by an Asus Xonar DS. does the job.

Should i add peripherals? hell no. i'v typed enough. but then again my own fault for going into anal detail. oh, i forgot to mention dust. there's a fair amount of that in my rig.
 
Computer: MacBook Pro 13 inch i5 8GB ram amd raedeon or however you spell it... Im using final cut pro and it kinda lags out my other programs so im looking to upgrade to an iMac. Macs a great by the way!
