Ok pc guys... which I'm a former....
Try this,
Take out one of your 4 year old, off the shelf PC Laptops... any of them... Then load it up with oh, 2 gigs of ram.
Now load up a remote client, adobe c23, Episode pro (which they make for the pc now btw) create a batch encode from Mini DV to Flash and let it run, Dreamweaver, Adobe Lightroom (since you don't have access to aperture) and top it off with you browser and say 10-15 open sites...
While your at it, hook up 3 Firewire 800 External drives to it, Dual screen it with a 30 Inch Monitor and plug in the rest of your goodies, like your wacom tablet, a Epson R1800, You firewire CF card reader, You Firewire DV capture, etc.
Now, while your running all this stuff, use that remote to control 2 other machines doing basically the same stuff, so you only have one keyboard and mouse, and make the whole setup seem like your just running one large multi screen setup.
Now run all of that stable. I have a machine on my desk that has now been doing that continuously since Feb, without one lockup, or crashes and the only reboots due to system updates.
I'm sorry, but being an MSCE myself and working in IT for over 20 years, I have NEVER seen a machine build this well, this rock solid.
