Anyone build a successful edit bay around a clone like the maxQ? I am getting tired of Apple leaving its pro customers in the dust, charging full price for hardware that is well over a year old now (we now your software doesn't utilize those awesome cores but we still want them!).

I run FCS3, CS5, Qx2 RAID5 and the Black Magic Intensity Pro capture card. I need ALL of these things to work seamlessly on a new system. Just wondering if I would be shooting my business in the foot taking a gamble on one of these things.

They have clones running i7's starting at ~$1500. I could buy a couple for the price of one MP.

Just throwing the idea out there!

Since you need all of that to work as seamlessly as humanly possible in order to make a living and provide for yourself and all those that depend on you I wouldn't risk cutting corners just to save a little bit of cash.
