  • Building edit bay – Looking for a G5 rack system in the UK

    Posted by Daniel5000 on January 3, 2006 at 12:18 pm

    Hello

    I am in the process of building an edit bay and would like to enclose my G5 plus hard drives and maybe my Digbeta and DVCam decks.
    Does anyone know a good supplier for such things in the UK?
    Or anyone willing to provide any suggestions?

    Many Thanks
    Daniel

    Keep in mind the G5’s are too tall to fit into a rack unit as is. You need to hacksaw off the handles to make it fit.

    You can read up on my article about High Definition for the Road and see how I had to cut down the machine to make it fit.

    You can have a look at this site and email them to see if they have a dealer in the UK.

    Several UK based editors on the Cow’s European FCP forum – try a repost there.
