Murrlets post gave me the idea to start a thread displaying the Specs of everyones PC. It would be a good idea to see where everyone stands (seeing as editing HD takes a lot of pc power). By doing this we can compare our PCs and give people advice on what could make PC editing better, along as give beginners a guide to follow.

My Specs (as shown in Murrlets thread)

Intel Duel Core e6600
ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard
320gb 7200 hard drive
2gb ram
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256mb
20 inch lcd screen

cost after rebates...$900

Let me know what you guys think of my rig. So far i love it, although i'll definatly want to update my video card, add another hard drive, and i'd like a hd tv tuner (when costs come down i'd like a blu-ray burner as well of course).
