- I'm budgeting $1500 to $2000
- It will be a central server PC machine that will run to the living room TV through HDMI and a separate large monitor around the corner.
- I'd like as much RAM, Video RAM, Speed, and Local Memory as we can afford. Primarily for the video editing.
- With that in mind it wouldn't be bad to have a solid state drive for the video editing to work off of for the faster access speed and such.
- It would also act as a file server for all the other machines in the home (including all of our radio and podcast audio)
- It would also be our central Plex media server.
- It should also be super sexy. :)
