Wouldn't want the "fully loaded iMac." The bottom of the line would work perfectly well in my workflow.
Do you use it for film editing? Video live broadcasting? What is your workflow?Quote:

When not live streaming, the iMacs can be utilized in many different ways, and yes, I do video and audio editing, Voice Over work and web development.
That is awesome. I will probably get a 2nd computer. You have i5 chispsets and have no issues?Quote:

I, currently, strictly route the systems through the Syswan, but may, in the future, allow for it to do the load balancing (as it should).
I do not experience any issues with the switching machine at all. Bandwidth utilization from the encoding machine to the CDN can be challenging at times.
thats wild.... 4 grand for a computer.... wow
