I hope not......he dropped some serious dough on this equipment, so I hope he uses it for more then just that.

Gonna come in at about $3300, give or take. But $750 of that was her new i-5 laptop.

Pretty soon Brian going to be the next M. Knight, making movies. Or heck he could make his own web shows like Tekzilla. Yeah I know church editing equipment can be pricey......even recording audio ONLY equipment cost more then what your average person realize.

If this goes well and I get some regular projects, I'm pondering getting a Panasonic professional camcorder. I used to use $20,000 cameras at the local TV station, back in the day. Gonna have to aim waaaay lower. LOL! Then you add lav mics and editing controllers (which Vegas does support) It gets real steep, real fast! I might hit up the local cable access channel. You take their little class and you can use their equipment. Also have a friend that teaches at the local Tech High School. I think I might be able to persuade her, if the project is big enough. I have my sources, just not the money. Yet!

Gotcha. Video and audio editing sounds like a big financial and time investment, when done effectively.

I'm kinda doing it kinda amatuer style, right now, but you've gotta start somewhere. This is a good baseline. I'm rendering some NCAA video on the i7 right now, my first quarter of Michigan vs. BGSU. I'm hoping it comes out looking as smooth as the PES footage. Tomorrow night is a big night on my Outreach video for church. It's premiering the 22nd and is about getting the majority of the congregation involved in local outreach ministries. Pretty big thing for myself and the leadership group I belong to. Kinda stuff that can change lives (in and out of the walls) and whole communities. I'm gonna have a lot of editing experience come Christmas and hopefully it'll just grow from there. Gotta get my gaming stuff in there too! I'll make time for all of it.... Who needs sleep?! LOL!

First NCAA vid. It looks so smooth on the computer, but a little jerky on YouTube. Gonna try and use MP4 files for upload, see if that helps. Weird they also only gave me 240p and 720p. Always have had a 360 and 480p option. Maybe it's still processing?

Another Christmas another addition! Found this 23" Gateway on Tiger Direct for $139.00. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...530&CatId=4420

I now have even more real-estate to play with. I'm going to hook it to both my i7 and Joel's old beast and then just switch inputs when he uses it. I just like how I can run it in extended desktop and and move my Hauppauge capture module over to the 23" side, then I don't have to switch inputs on the Dynex to capture highlights. It also gets used as an external monitor for Vegas projects, giving me a big enough picture to really see and more workspace for Vegas itself. I need to get me either another internal HDD or a large external. With all of my video footage for church projects and gaming highlights I'm already at 550 GB on the 1TB that came with this PC. Oh well, bit at a time.

For yucks I went on AVA Direct and built my dream PC. Only $7188! i7 980-X Extreme, 4 1TB 6.0 GB/sec HDD, 24 GB RAM, 2 Radeon 5970 2 GB cards in Crossfire, Liquid Cooled, USB 3.0, the works. Next Christmas! LOL!

It is in my living room. I have a big Bush computer desk that takes up half the wall. I will put up a pic or two when I get home. I'm over a friends house for New Years. It's cool, I'm on his iPad right now. My wife is like, " no way!" LOL!
