    Need a Pro system, For Avid Xpress / DVD autoring, for Home Studio

    I am looking for a Computer System right now to run Avid Xpress and Xpress pro when it comes out, and I need to burn DVD's. Here's the problem, What do I choose! Every expert I have talked to has said use the Sony +/- Burner, some say the Pioneer is better. Plextor is a good brand, but I haven't heard good things yet.

    I want a Quailty built System, made for editng and the best ones I have fornd so far are at Alienware ( www.alienware.com ) Uber Gear ( www.uber-gear.com ) and Dell (who doesn't know that one) Dell is so much cheeper, but I can only get the Sony at Uber Gear, and they look amazing, but I have never heard of them, Does anyone know if they are as good as Alienware? What about Dell? Can I expect the same type of quality ?


    Sorry I am a pro editor not a a computer guru so any help would be appreciated

    Gotta get the studio up asap!

    Thanks,

      no own experience, sorry.

      i built my systems myself so far in order to be able to control every detail/part of it.

              I bought a VPR Matrix from Best Buy and added the Hardware I needed. It gave me a starting point to work from. The software is what you really need. Also add an extra hard drive to use as a work area.

              By the way, PC Gamer just reviewed the Plextor DVD burner and they liked it. So did Maximum PC. A good place to find hardware reviews is cnet.com or anandtech.com
