Just a couple points but firstly what has static vs DHCP got to do with video editing? I contracted for www.xyzstudios.com, a tv/post studio and the only machine that cost less than 15K was a mic they use for print based stuff. If your dad wants to say record tv and edit it (not the video, just combine, create chapters, record hd tv and play/copy dvd's) I would recommend not bothering with a pc to be honest: my pioneer PictBridge has about 60GB I think, I haven't played around with it too much, but this in conjunction with post software could be good (with output to a tvin card). I can't quite place the advantage of not wanting a static ip address (apart from the aforementioned, transport etc.). Which brings me to the main point: IP6 > will it negate the need for DHCP?
