Guys I know this is a heavliy favored Mac user forum but I need you guys opinions as well. I will say I do own a PC ,its a HP 002 Blackbird and I have plans to upgrade or change.
I have a question concerning which computer to purchase. I will be using the computer for editing ONLY.Which choice should I go with? This or something similar. All the while keeping my cost somewhere $1500.00 -2000.00

Or rebuild my HP 002Blackbird keeping only the liquid cooling system and the power supply which is a Topower Powerbird TOP-1100W, and use these parts

The first link is broken.

If you are doing serious editing either get a Mac Pro or just upgrade your Windows based PC.

Mac...obviously..yes?
 
Get a mac and then run Windows in VM. Best of both worlds and when Windows inevitable eats itself, just revert to snapshot for easy recovery.
 
Pc

First link is broken. I would say look into the PC rebuild. Make sure your motherboard and cooling work with the newer socket. I would assume there wouldn't be any issues but you never know. Just do the research on the case. I don't know how proprietary it is. For the parts you posted you'd have to spend closer to $2000 to get that on the iMac side. With the iMac you are getting an excellent screen though. Personally I would look into a PC rebuild. Especially if you have all the software already working / licensed for PC.
