Imaging is rendering and stuff like that, right?

RAID 0 is two HDD working as one. In this setup, HDD speed improves dramatically. When rendering things, one of the biggest bottlenecks is HDD speed. Raid 0 alleviates this.

 

Setting up RAID 0 is the hard part, but it's really simple to do. Once it's setup, it appears as a single HDD in Windows.

 

If you decide to go the Raid 0 route, there will be tons of people here ready to answer any installation questions you have.

With Imagine extra RAM is always nice to have...

 

And are you sure you want that Sound Card? For normal music sorta thing, onboard is just as good. Only time a sound card is nice is when Gaming (Hardware Acceleration and EAX)...Might wanna save yourself the $90?

Is he messing with DV or analog video if it is DV drop the all in wonder and just get a 9600 it will save you some bread or even better the 256 mb 9600 about the same price as the all in wonder. All you need with DV is firewire and the mobos got that.
