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.
Thats why I have iMovie HD running on my MacBook right now and it was FREE?!?!!?!?!?!

Sure you cannot do professional editing on it BUT you can get Final Cut Pro to do that for you.
