I want to mention this in the event someone wants to upgrade their computer and remain on a Windows platform. This manufacturer is primarily a boutique gaming computer manufacturer named Falcon Northwest. The gaming capability is also what I needed with video processing. It would also lend itself to processing large digital files.

I spent a fair amount of time checking Mac Pro, Dell and others and this company has a very good reputation and reasonable prices for what they offer. They have been in business for 17 years. I think that I spent about $500 more than Dell and about $2000 less than Mac for an equally equipped machine.
