[QUOTE="kalisti, post: 1164756, member: 184917"] Hi guys, Thank you for the replies! A display isn't an issue, as I have two nice studio displays on my current rig that will work fine. As far as budget, one reason I'm asking is because if there really is a huge difference I will probably just limp along with what I have until the new Mac Pro's come out, and try to get one of the current generation at a firesale for just within my budget. Is the iMac really powerful enough to do what I'm looking for? If so, I'm certainly game! I've only ever used them for very basic editing (single angle, basically just cutting stuff together), never with Color or other grading software, and I just assumed they wouldn't be up to the task (I actually assumed that was basically why the Mac Pros existed). That said, if they're robust enough to handle mid-level video editing, I will look into them more closely as an alternative. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
