Thanks very much for all the feedback. I think the more I get into editing in FCP the more I want a Tower with the latest hex core 32nm processors. Also many more hardware configurations available with a tower – like the faster RAID 0 configurations with a dedicated PCI card. One firewire 800 port and one express card slot is just bare bones editing.

I take it I would have to hook my drives to the FW800 port since those options appear to need the express card slot on the MBP? Is this what folks are doing?

Thanks very much for the “control U” tip Michael. That makes things a whole lot easier!

I found a solution digging on line after a while. Just make the 27 inch my primary monitor by dragging the bar to the other monitor in Display/preferences. That was easy. Man, this 27 inch monitor sure is easy on the eyes and the extra real estate is heavenly.

That’s a very good point. Think I’ll pass on the canon image files for now.

Shane:

The Canon EOS Utility has a feature to back up the card as a disk image .dmg file. Ever used this? Any pros/cons to it? My first though is you won’t see the actual files captured.

I figured out 20 GB was stuff in the “Trash” – clips and files I had deleted. Then I cleaned up the system drive by backing up and deleting a folder used for downloads and some others. In the end, I added 40GB to the hard drive and didn’t have to delete anything from Final Cut Suite or remove any programs.

Oh, I like the 8 bay raid box David. Plenty of room to grow and I can go raid 5 or 6. Thanks a bunch for the review!
