Many of our college users store their video in a tower. They are not inexpensive, but you can put more than one internal hard drive in them (lots of storage). They are the fastest Macs you can buy. If you want to burn lots of DVDs, this extra power may be useful. They also support 2 displays, so you can hook up your computer projector as display 2. This lets you project video and enter scouting data simultaneously. They also come equipped to support FireWire 800 and gigabit ethernet which enable you to copy games from one computer to another faster. You can special order Mac Pro Quad Core towers from Apple with a larger hard drive. A DVD burner (SuperDrive) is included. This computer will store over 40 hours of video. It also includes an expensive Apple LED backlight 24 inch display. |
