You might begin by looking at the specs on some of the purpose-built systems advertised in video magazines like Videographer, Computer and Camcorder Video, DV.COM and others - go to their web sites, where the system configurations are spelled out in detail. I've had two systems built for me over the past three years, from components I have specified and it is a more economical solution than buying from the system integrators, but it puts more on your shoulders. If you are comfortable with the language and specifications of the PC world, getting involved yourself is a great approach. If you aren't, prepare to spend more and require more outside support when things go wrong, as they will. A few years ago I asked the first professional editor I had ever met what operating system he would recommend. He didn't know which one he was running! When something broke, people came to fix it. I didn't have that luxury so I rolled up my sleeves and dived in. Now I'm comfortable here, but there's a lot of frustration and time in getting there, which money can bypass (to some degree).

But, I want to buy a desktop that I can use strictly for editing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I like Sony VAIO. What do I need to put in this PC to really get the best of Premiere that I can.
