Thanks for your help.
We have decided to go with the new PC.
I will tell my friends about your gear.

Most likely it can do the job. This will be SCSI gear and I have

Further more if you are doing video editing you may well find a
SCSI is far faster than what we have now. The reason is simple
physics... many heads are better than one.
A drive can only read and write where the head is. If you have
many little drives with many little heads then you can have very
high throughput. I had clients who had over 100 2GB SCSI drives
in a RAID configuration which was just a file buffer. They were
loading data onto an AMPEX D3 as I recall. The tape drive was so
fast the disc farm had trouble keeping up.
