Can you give advise on my New Computer?

My company is upgrading our edit systems:  This is basically what we are getting.  This is pretty much the limit.  Would you recommend any minor changes?
Edit Software: Adobe CS6 Master Collection
Two 3.06GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon (12 cores)
32GB (8x4GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive
Dual-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express card
Apple Magic Mouse
Country Kit
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) & User's Guide
Apple Care
iLife '11
Mac OSX Mountain Lion
NVIDIA Quadro 4000 by for Mac Graphics Board (by PNY 2GB)
Fibre Connected to:
Quantum StoreNext 220TB of storage space and will work with Mountain Lion OS10.8.
The server is pretty far from my system. Longer than 200 feet, maybe more.
Other Info:
Edit Mostly DSLR Footage, Canons, XDCAM, Occasional Red Footage
A lot of exporting using Media Encoder
Huge Multi tasker with After Effects, PPro
I do have a 30inch Apple Display monitor that I will need to keep, it is about 4 or 5 years old, would you decrease RAM or CPU in exchange for a new Apple display?
Thanks for your time!

Is switching to Windows an option?  Mac Pro's future is questionable, and so is Apple's commitment to niche (pro video editing) market.

Consider K5000 (Mac edition) instead, about $2K.
32GB (8x4GB)
If you're at all interested in shaving a few $$ off the price tag, consider getting the minimim RAM (12GB) and getting compatible memory elsewhere - OWC sells a 64GB kit for $520 vs. Apple's nearly $2K.

Not unless it's going bad - it's a great monitor.

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

    AH...good. 
    There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine.  And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
    Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

  • If I buy illustrator do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?

    If I buy illustrator outright, do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?

    David,
    No future updates will be issued for non CC versions. For CS6, the last one (ever) is 16.0.5.
    You can install it on 2 computers at a time, and you can deactivate and install on new computers as you wish.

  • If I purchase Photoshop CC now can I load it to a new computer later?  I will be purchasing a new computer Later.

    If I purchase Photoshop CC now can I load it to a new computer later?  I will be purchasing a new computer later. What's the process of moving product to new computer.

    You can install new machines as needed.  Your subscription allows for functioning installations on two machines, so you could keep the original installation as a backup if you could use one.  Otherwise, you can sign out of the old machine to discontinue the use of it there.  You will install on the new machine just like you do for the current one.

  • Can you give me a query to find a latch?

    Hi
    Can you give me a query to find a latch? If you have a script then please give it to me to find a latch.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    RJ.

    There is no magic command to stop the latch, unless you shuting down your database.
    I would advise you to take several statspack snapshots, make reports, and analyze if latches are a problem.
    Then, in regards of which latches are in the top of lists of wait events, make what required, not before.
    Nicolas.

  • Lost the white converter box.  Can you plug the USB into a computer to charge the ipad

    You can plug it into a computer but it will be a very very slow charge. The best thing to do is go to any office / electronics store and get a new charger.

  • HT4623 my iphone is disabled and locked but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it. Can I sync it on a new computer

    my iphone is disabled and locked due to my 2 year old pressing too many numbers on my lock screen, but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it and use my phone. Can I sync it on a new computer, or how can I get it to work and open again as I have text messages and EVERYTHING on my phone I need.

    Sorry, just getting back. Since it is a used phone, you may have to contact the prior owner to see if they cleared their Apple ID and passcode. You could not force it into recovery mode? It sounds like it is still locked with someone's passcode. This may not help but I will link it here anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Can I move Photoshop to my new computer?

    Can I move Photoshop to my new computer?

    Whereby, I think, it is only allowed to be used at your home address
    from clause 2.1.3
    "  ..... The “Primary User”may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
    or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same
    time as the Software on the primary Computer."
    Maybe a bit difficult to check, should you be on vacation taking along your laptop and like to edit your photos there,
    or have a 2nd home abroad. Assume a 2nd house/home may also be considered as a 'home' under the above clause.
    Ah well ...
