Rain Recording Element V1 Video Workstation

V is for Video
Introducing Element V -- the latest addition to the all new Element Core 2 Duo lineup. Engineered for stable, consistent and reliable operation under the stressful conditions of digital audio/video production, Element V cuts right to the chase with graphics support provided by NVIDIA's Quadro FX 1500, 4 GB of main memory and a RAID-0 Video Streaming Drive. At the center of this little A/V monster sits the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor providing 40% more processing power and 40% more efficiency. Life in the editing suite just got easier.

600 Mbps of Joy
Let's just lay it out on the table: Element V comes standard with two 250 GB Ultra 300 SATA II hard drives striped to RAID-0. In other words, right out of the box you have access to half a terabyte of information at 600 Megabits per second. And the best part is, all that speed and space is completely dedicated to the project at hand since the OS and all your applications are stored on a third hard drive totally independent of the Video Streaming Drive. Rain thought of everything so you don't have to.

Included Software
Windows XP Professional
One of the most widely used pieces of software in the world, Microsoft's venerable OS brings you robust, intuitive control of your PC.

Nero CD/DVD Creator
Nero gives you the power to create CDs and DVDs through an easy to understand interface. Put your favorite songs on CD and burn DVDs of your home movies and pictures.

Features
Element now comes standard with Core 2 Duo. That means new and improved Quiet Cool operation with a 25 - 40% power boost.

Graphics And Then Some. A ton of video horsepower courtesy of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500.
