MacPro Hardware for HD?

I know HES has not officially checked of on the MacPros, but it seems from reading the forums that many of you are using them.
I will be using Catalyst to serve our new DPI Lightning 40HD, and I want to get the best hardware that is available now. Hopefully the hardware will have some future as well.
So MacPro users, is there a difference between 2.0, 2.66 and 3 GHz processors in this application?
What video card are you using?
What Hard Drive configuration are you using?
How much RAM is enough? How much is just wasting money?
Thank you for your help.
Looking forward to joining the Catalyst community.

  • [QUOTE=Leah_Durrett]For those who want to use SCSI with the Mac Pro, it is possible. We are using a bracket that fits snuggly inside the extra optical drive bay. Then we route the SCSI cable under the 1st SATA drive connector and out to the SCSI PCI-e controller card. We are most likely going to sell the brackets as an accessory or suggest someone elses.


    to install scsi in the optical drive bay - you can buy 5 1/4 to 3 1/2 inch drive bay adaptors at many electronic stores - including places like frys.
    they are a common and easily found piece of metalwork.
    cost is usually about $5.
    no need to get such a thing from HES.
