From left to right:
-15" G4 iMac, 800mhz, 768mb of RAM, 32mb Nvidea G-Force 2MX. Not sure on internal HDD. Just did a clean install of OSX Tiger and ran updates.
Used for viewing script, shotlist, transcript, storyboards, etc, while editing, and to do light web browsing or word processing if the other machines are working. Is capable of light video editing (SD or DVCPRO-HD [for a short project].)
-20" iMac, 2ghz Core Duo, 2gb RAM, ATI Radeon x1600 PCIE 128mb. 200gb internal HDD, 5400 rpm (I think.) OSX Leopard. Used as primary editing, color correcting, and compositing computer thanks to it's large screen and decent GPU, although it's processor is lower than...
-13" Macbook, 2.16ghz Core 2 Duo, 2gb RAM, integrated intel graphics >.< 320gb 7200rpm HDD (runs the battery down nicely :)) and OSX Leopard. Used primarily for log and transfer of footage (works faster and more reliably than iMac) and for transcoding, pulldown removal, and on the go editing. Yes and I found a vintage laptop stand that was designed to match the old iMac :)
Final Cut Studio 2, Magic Bullet Looks, and Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium.

From left to right (top to bottom) Lacie 500gb 5400rpm quad interface, Iomega 500gb dual interface, Maxtor 1tb 5400rpm quad interface, OWC Neptune Western Digital 1tb 7200rpm dual interface, Macally enclosure Western Digital 1tb 7200rpm triple interface (eSata.)
Each computer has a cable running the hard drives so I can easily switch them around, and the hard drives can be daisy chained into each other.
My workflow is (when I get my GH1 but I have tested it on card data) copy card data to Macbook in field, or fill up cards and do it right away to externals. Backup card data to 2 externals. Log and transfer card data to one external, using Pro Res, off macbook. Remove pulldown and tweak framerates as needed. Swap external over to 20" iMac, work on 20" iMac. Use Macbook for some exporting and transcoding (but it can't work with magic bulleted footage :() Use old iMac as a nice platform to put scripts and shotlist and logs on to look at for reference during editing.
This is at my parents house in Davis right now but will be following me back to college.
Post pics of your setups with descriptions!
