Want to buy Mac System for HD Digital Film Editing

hello everyone, Recently, i've bought a Sony PMW EX3 XDCAM to shoot my feature film. I'm wondering that after finishing shooting 24P HD, I will start Editing. So for buying An editing MAC Setup, what are the good specifications/configuration that will suite my Camcorder and Film Project. And can anyone guide me please that what are the necessary things to buy with an Apple Mac Pro or Power Mac G5 to establish a complete editing setup. Thanks in advance for your help and guidelines.

Don't get a G5- the current version of FCP no longer supports it. Get a Mac Pro- fastest you can afford with plenty of hard drive space.

You really need to consult a value added retailer or a post consultant in your area, because there are a lot of factors and some of the details can be quite sensitive- budget, scale of production, how do you plan to finish the film, what kind of deliverables, etc...

In some cases, purchasing a fairly inexpensive "offline" suite for a one off project, and bringing it to online at a proper facility could be more cost efficient.
