How we built a fire-engine-red screamer on a budget
By Charlie White
While perusing the current state-of-the-art in Wintel workstations, I noticed that the latest dual Xeon-equipped machines are not cheap. In fact, if you want to completely stoke a box with all the latest, greatest and fastest components, it's not too difficult to run up a tab pushing $10K. But it's possible to build your own computer that's almost as fast for less than half that amount, using Athlon MP chips, a bit of know-how and a lot of patience. Here's how we built a monster workstation for digital video editing for under $5000.
CinéGroupe's Mitch Galidor on the HDTV production process for this innovative CG/live action kid's show

The FCC granted a reprieve to nine large-market TV stations to broadcast digital signals, but at the same time warned 1300 other stations that are late with DTV broadcasting that they are on a "short leash."
Apple's ultra-cool iPod is a great tool for professionals, too!
by Paulo de Andrade
Apple's iPod is a true object of desire. It's definitely a device I would expect to be carrying around this new millennium: very futuristic in design and features. But why am I writing about an MP3 player for this professional publication? Because the iPod, believe it or not, is a great tool that offers a lot more than MP3 playback.
