need help with video editing system...

[Necrolezbeast]

I have a customer that needs a system for video editing and I don't know exactly what would be best, he also has a limited budget that I am basically maxing out at this point...here is what I have drafted out: 2.4ghz P4 533mhz FSB, Albatron i845pe, 512mb pc2700 Kingmax($120 on newegg), ATI Radeon 8500LE 64mb, WD 80gb SE 8mb cache, case w/350w PSU, Liteon 48x24x48...total is $706
Any info would be very helpful and appreciated, thanks.

Looks good. Similar to what I use. You have enough CPU/mem/HD space, Does he need firewire or analog capture?

oh yeah, I totally forgot...firewire will be needed, any suggestions for a cheap card?

I bought Pinnacle Studio DV 7 on clearance (last years version) which came with the firewire card, cable and Pinnacle Studio 7 software for $20 after rebate! Deal is long gone. Not sure what to suggest. Look around for a deal.
