my 2008 mac tower, K5000, SSD system drive, 3X3TB raid eats thru 1080 =
editing all day long with good responsiveness. I=92m talking 8-10 layers =
in PP with 1-2 video layers where one is often some h.264 format, 1 =
ProRes, maybe one ProRes 4444 + alpha, static graphics, lumetri from =
speed grade. where this system probably suffers is decoding the h.264 =
formats where 2-3 layers will get boggish a bit.=20

OTH I am finishing a shot in 4K GH4 edited in 1080 on my imac i7 and its =
gone well. since its a 2.93gh / much faster ram bus machine it decodes =
h.264 a lot more smoothly than the 2008 machine.

so a used 5.1 tower should be a consideration if you want the PCIe =
slots, and a loaded 27=94 iMac with nV GPU could be a really nice =
compact machine. I=92m somewhat waiting for an update iMac with 6core =
i7.
