In my opinion....there is no possible way I'm paying $1,700 for a desktop pc in the year 2007 unless I'm doing major video editing. Do you really need 4 GB of RAM? While it's sweet that is ALOT of RAM! I know you said something about editing movies but are we talking ripping DVD's, importing home movies etc? If so, you can get by with alot less of a computer.

Let me put it like this, no I don't think it's a good deal, but I'm also curious why you need such a beast of a mchine. If money is no object then this discussion is pointless, go get it because that would be a sweet rig and one I'd be jealous of it.

The Power PC and ibuypower.com sites are definitely going to be somewhat cheaper for having a customized machine like that built, you should give them a look.
