Ok here we go

PC 1 Video Machine

Intel Pentium 4 2.4C @ 3.2
Abit IT7 Max2 V.2
1 Gig Corsair Xtreme Matched PC3200 Ram
Matrox G550 Dualhead Videocard
Matrox RT2500 Realtime card
M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96 Audio card
20 Gig IBM System Drive
2 120 Gig WD 8meg drives in RAID 1
Pinoneer Slot load DVD-Rom drive
Sony Dual format DVD Burner
Antec 1080AMG Case
Antec 430 watt Powersupply
Windows XP Pro Servicepack 1

This machine runs Premiere, Aftereffects, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

PC 2 Audio Machine

Intel Pentium 4 2.4B @ 3.06
Abit BE-7
1 Gig Geil PC3200 Ram
Abit Siluro OTES Geforce 4200 64meg
Soundblaster Audigy Platium
M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96
2 60 Gig Maxtor drives
Toshiba DVD-ROM drive
Lite-On 52x CD Burner
Antec 1080 Case
Antec 400 watt Power Supply

This sytem runs Cubase SX, Wavelab, Reason, and Ulead Cool3D

Periphs
2 17" KDS Monitors Flat CRT
1 19" Iiyama Monitor Flat CRT
Logitech Keyboard
Logitech MX700 Mouse
Countour Shuttle
Wacom 4x5 tablet
JVC SVHS editing deck
Sony DSR-45 DV Deck
Sony Umatic SP Deck (go ahead laugh)
Mackie 1402 Mixer

I am really happy with this setup. I love having 2 PCs to split my workload. That way while the Vid PC renders, I can work on the audio on the other PC.
The only thing I would like to add to this is a Storage server with about 720 gig of space. Its just easier to work with unified storage. I find that I spend too much time organizing and searching for files.

Also I plan to update the RT2500 to the RTX100 and I will be adding a ATI FireX1 to the Video machine....I love the 2D of the G550 but now that AE6 will support OpenGL I want something that has some power.
