Just purchased a Sony HDR-HC1 HDV camcorder. Have been used to using Vegas for DV editing in the past.

Im looking at building a new PC just for HD editing and would like some help on Motherboards, processors and video cards.

Will i be ok using external 7200rpm firewire hard drives?

At the moment im running three 20" LCD monitors off a couple of matrox 450 cards, would like to keep 3 monitors if possibe but could cope with two if i have to.

Any suggestions on what people have built or bought that work with Vegas and the HC1 would be appreciated.
cheers

Do a search on this board--there have been lots of similar threads in the past 6 months or so.

I'm about to switch over to an Asus A8V motherboard and one of the AMD x2 processors. From what I've heard, the x2's are the current hot setup.
