Edit Tools — Alienware

Support for the latest SATA II drives. Price: Starting at $1499

Instead of buying that second PC, what if you could edit with a rig that combines two CPUs and two graphics cards? That's what Alienware offers with its new MJ-12 7550a workstation, which debuted at NAB. Loaded with dual AMD Opteron processors and dual PCI Express graphic slots, operations like encoding and rendering will be speedy. Features include the new nVidia nForce Professional chipset, which delivers support for SLI-enabled nVidia Quadro graphics cards, and a new case design that makes for cooler working parts while loading on numerous front-accessible ports. If you're the type that likes to have a lot of your work in front of you, the dual graphics cards — each with two ports — allow running up to four monitors.
