Instantly, after assembled the PC, I loaded Premiere Pro CS5.5 and perform the Mercury Playback Engine hack to test the performance. It was awesome to edit on a 30" display and preview at 1920x1080 1:1 on second monitor.
 

 
I picked this particular PC case as it comes with a built-in HDD dock with front USB 3.0 ports. It's important that USB ports are not aligned side by side or positioned very close together. Now I can plug in 4 SD card readers to copy DSLR footage to external HDD all at the same time.
 

 
It scores 7.8 in Windows Experience Index.

Posted by Tom Bostick on 10/30/2012 1:04:00 AM that built in hdd dock is sweet!

Replied by LA Color Pros Tom, yes! It is really convenience now I can backup to external bare HDD easily without another dock with AC adapter and another cable going around. Also, pay attention to those USB ports, they are aligned vertically with room between each. Our previous editing station 4 USB ports were so closed together, I can only plug-in 2 USB card readers at one time.
