Hi All,
I am seriously considering a build for a FCP7 machine, with the eventual possibility of running FCPX.
My 2009 iMac died (logic board) and this seems like a reasonable time to try a Hack build. It doesn't need to be overclocked or be a speed demon - just want something stable and relatively easy to get up and running (so I definitely plan to purchase hardware recommended on this site).
I'm looking at a modest Corei7 4Ghz build with 16gb ram, SSD, and a video card if it will help with FCP (does it matter?) and support two monitors.
I'm curious about adding firewire capability to deal with my existing external drives and importing video from an older camera. When adding a card like this, is there anything that needs to be done for OSX to recognize it?
Any suggestions for specific hardware and firewire stuff would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
