We have been using the Imac on MC5 for several weeks now, and
just put a
Thunderbolt raid on it. Editing with no problem so far. Two
monitors for MC, and a third off the Thunderbolt chain doing full
screen
video.
Also have CS5 on the same box. No FCP though. We haven't kept the
updates up, and I just can't stomach FCPX.
Will let y'all know if we run into any issues. The only thing
we're
seeing right now is the that Imac runs extremely hot, but that's
not
uncommon for any Mac.
