For whatever it's worth:
I'm a PC guy but i was talking with one of my customers a couple of weeks ago. He prefers MAC and one of his favorite things to do is to do video editing. He's even got a couple of youtube videos out. We didn't go into details but he said something that stuck with me. He was saying that he spent over 1,000.00$ to get a 1 TB hard drive when they first came out.
My guess would be that you would need a fair amount of storage on your hard drive and some fairly beefy hardware for that kind of work. Maybe look for a decent quad
core processor and a higher end graphics card ?
Macs have their software problems just as pc's do. Overall the Mac hardware is better than a pc but they cost more too. Older Macs pretty much used the same processors, hard drives, and memory speeds as their PC cousins because that's what was available for tech at the time.
If you're looking to do it on the cheap have you thought about picking up a gaming rig that's about three or four years old ?
The only reason i mentioned it is because i had one given to me last month. It took awhile to track down the memory leakage but once it was sorted out the machine turned out to be a real workhorse. Far and away better than any of the consumer grade PC's or Macs that i've worked on before.
