FS: |||||| Dual 1.8Ghz Xeon Pro Video Editing Workstation ..

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

This is an amazing, powerful system capable of editing UNCOMPRESSED video. It was used with Newtek's
Video Toaster system for 50 hours. It features a Supermicro P4DC6+ motherboard, Supermicro SC760A
full tower (400wt power supply) with plenty of internal fans, 1.8Ghz Xeon CPUs, 1 GB (4 x 256mb)
PC800 Rambus memory, Adaptec onboard dual U160 SCSI controller, 3 36GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI Drives,
40GB System drive, 52x CDRW Drive, GeForce 2mx Graphics adapter.

This is a serious editing machine. I used it for approximately 50 hours and it is blazingly fast. I
paid well over $4000.00 for it all in 2002 but that means nothing to you today. Prices have dropped
so my loss is your gain. I am upgrading to a much faster, more expensive system.

Make no mistake, this is not an entry level computer by any stretch of the imagination. If you are
into video editing, animation (Maya, Lightwave, 3d Max, etc), this is for you. I have the original
Supermicro Motherboard box with manual and all of its contents. I am including a free legal Windows
XP Home Edition cd which will be pre-installed and tested before this is shipped out. This is
configured and ready to go. I am asking $2900 plus shipping.

Here are some specs:

Adaptec Raptor RAID Controller
The P4DC6+ and P4DC6+II include a Raptor RAID controller to offer the high
degree of fault tolerance required by today's servers. A SO-DIMM socket
is included on the motherboard to plug a Raptor adapter card (not included)
into, which eliminates the need to use up a PCI slot to have RAID capability.
The Raptor RAID controller and adaptor utilizes a 64-bit bus, provides 0, 1,
0/1, 5, and 0/5 RAID levels and supports S.M.A.R.T. and SES/SAF-TE.
