Well, I have the PC version, the built in Intel graphics card. So you know my pain 😉
Joe, I’ll check back with you when I’m ready to buy and find a deal. Thanks!

Thanks, Joe. I had to pass on this deal. I just couldn’t justify it right now. I’ll continue to work on my skills. Pretty sure I’ve got a loooooong way to go.
“Your idea of a basic machine, and the ideas of professional post house editors may not match up, different leagues. Don’t jump into anything just yet.”
I found this out the hard way a month ago trying to help finish an edit on a colleagues supposed killer PC box.
Eric, believe me, my idea of a basic machine is miles behind what professional post house editors need. See my example, above. But even as simplistic as that is, it took forever to render. It’s not the render time, though, it’s the super slow choppy playback when I add the slightest of effects to a clip that gets me. But I’ll just have to make do for now.

Hey Joe, can I use my current computer as a separate hard drive? Or possibly my 500 gig external drive? I did write the guy and he confirmed the sleds were included. He also seems to be a good seller as he has 100% rating, has been with ebay since 1999, and has answered both my messages to him on a Sunday night.
I’m hesitant to pull the trigger. It seems like a great deal but it’s more of a want than a need and I hate having my savings dip below a certain amount. I guess I’ll sleep on it. Anyway, if you could answer my question about using either of those as an alternate second hard drive that would be great.

Hey Joe, the guy accepted my offer of $685.00 plus shipping (45 bucks). Good deal? I sent him a message asking about the sleds and that other stuff. I should hear back from him soon, so I hope you see this in time to get back to me.
Thanks for all your help. -
Yikes, I don’t think I have any room left in my brain for Walter Soyko! Thanks so much Joe. So, considering what I would use it for, as is it’s got everything I need? That was my main question. It’s not missing any necessary parts as far as you can see? Remember, the one I was bidding on had no hard drives. That’s what I’m talking about. I’ve got spare keyboards and mousii 😉
Assuming everything is as he says it is I can just plug it in and start editing (after installing my software, of course)?

Hey Joe (or any of you guys), I can get this one for $699.00, currently trying to get him down to $685.00. Worth it at either price?

Hey Joe, quick question. Does the Z800 have HDMI out?
-
Yikes, my head is spinning here, guys. I have a feeling you didn’t watch my retro masterpiece “Blinky & Noodles Go To Woodstock” 😉
I will look into both options, Chris and Joseph’s. As always I’ll report back my final decision.
Thanks AGAIN, guys!
-
Thanks, Joe! I was wondering about the Z800 but $1300 bucks plus all the other stuff you had to add is a bit beyond my budget. Well, not really my budget, but for what I want to do (see included video above) I guess it’s overkill. Like buying a Ferrari to go grocery shopping. But, believe me, as always I’m really grateful for the time you guys take to answer my questions.
Cheers! -
ah, ok well consider this micro upgrade.
a single SSD Samsung 951 Pro hits 2 GB/s $195 could easily handle 4k cache. so you could run multiple streams with one card without needing a raid controller! but do you have a m.2 spot on your motherboard?
Nvidia GTX 970-980 for 4k cuda playback $300-400
You’d at least stop hitting your head on playback and ram previews.
have you tried my fix-all post on premiere playback smoothness?
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/974834#974842Hey Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to respond! OK, first things first, I don’t see myself investing in 4K capabilities. It’s really not worth it for what I do, but I imagine your suggested setup would scream with 1080p content, right? Now, I’ve been in computers since 1995 but I have honestly never heard of an m.2 spot so I have no idea if I have one on my motherboard. The fact that it has an Intel integrated graphics card suggests I probably don’t, but I’ll google if this model has one. Assuming I do, are you suggesting that I should get both the SSD Samsung 951 Pro as well as an Nvidia GTX 970-980?btw, just to remind any of you who may respond to this thread, this is as complex as my “art” gets
