   Hi Folks:
   
   IÂ’m interested in learning video editing and have been researching now for about a month. I have read a lot about a number if software and hardware products and would like some input if these items are a good start and will cover most all jobs including converting/restoring analog VCR tapes to digital. IÂ’ve come to the conclusion that the following hardware items are of good quality. Or am I going over board?
   
   Computer:
   500w Power Supply
   Motherboard: ASUS P5AD2 Deluxe
   Graphics Card: Pony Quadro FX 1300 128MB
   Processor: Intel 3.0GHz
   Ram: 2 X 512Mb DDR2
   Drives: One 120Gb for system. One 160Gb for Video/Music/Pics
   OS: WINXP Pro
   
   S-VHS Video Recorder: JVC HR-S9800U
   
   Time Base Corrector: Data Video TBC-1000
   
   Software: Avid Express Pro:
   
   My guess is that all this will cost me about $3200.00. Your opinions are well respected.
   
   Thank You

   That looks great! My only advice is to bump up to 2GB of RAM. Check out our DIY2 article - we used the same Mobo http://www.videoguys.com/DIY2.html
   
   I would also look into getting Mojo. It adds analog I/O and real-time playback from the timeline back to tape.
