Hardware
Well, it has been some years since we acquired our SIG's first Video Editing PC and unfortunately it cannot do the real time transitions etc. that the latest versions of software can perform.
So, we have "bitten the bullet" and built our own replacement P.C. for use at the SIG Meetings.
We have made a DVD showing the sequence of steps in building a PC, so that we can show others how to do it (so that the brave ones amongst our members can build one for themselves).
After much discussion we agreed on the following specs and have been able to obtain all of these parts for under $2000 in total.
The images from our computer construction are not yet
available. In the meantime we present some images from the construction
of the computer built for the prizewinner at the last PC User Group
meeting. Members of our Video Production Steering Committee were
involved in the making of a video of the construction process.

The images above are taken from the DVD which records the whole process of building the PC for last month's prizewinner.
