I stand by my statement that they are expensive though.

I wanted this computer for 2 purposes. 1) To edit my hdv videos, and author HD DVD. 2) To archive HD TV/Movies from my HD DVR.

for 1) I would have to spend $1300 on hardware, and I believe another $1300 on software to do this on a mac (iMovie can't author HD DVD).

Seeing as how I can do this fine on a $399 Compaq PC, the mac option is too expensive.

As for 2), Macs aren't even capable of doing this.
You have an HD DVD burner?
