[QUOTE="WilliS, post: 26711"] The cable for the serial ata is waaaay different than your normal IDE cable that you find in your average pc. You will have to use what they give you. As for digital video, the cards that the G5 are equipped to come with will not handle input of video. I recommend using the superdrive, it serves its purpose, i burn dvds all the time (currently burning one now...) the superdrive is a pioneer, sorta ;). the superdrive *can* be a pioneer..just as much as it can be a sony, or whatever other company apple buys a large shipment of dvd burners from. the drive in itself will play dvd/burn dvd/read and write cd-r/rw i dont really think you can opt to have your G5 come without a drive at all... although im not sure... and your better off just getting what comes with it, and avoid whatever problems you might have by tampering with the internals of the G5 (its designed for airflow perfectly) and as whiteshark said... load up on ram.. but! i would suggest doing some homework before ordering it from apple... its more expencive through apple to get ram than to order it from a company who distributes ram. im still in thought about what to do with digital video...im not sure i understand what you mean... if you mean from a video camera, most video cameras come with firewire ports now...and the g5 has 2 firewire 400 ports, and 1 firewire 800 also, if you are really looking to do loads of work with it, and "Money is no object" get the dual over single processor... it will help :) i own one, and loooove it good luck...stop by and shoot a question...we are all more than happy to respond :) [/QUOTE]
