I know nothing about SCSI or computers other than I have one. I need some
help if you are willing.

I need a large fast drive for editing video's.
What type of a SCSI would work in my computer?
How many pins SCSI?
Will I need any adapters or cords, ect?

80 pin SCSI are the latest and you would need a SCSI controller card as well
for your system. Check Newegg.com for prices, they are pretty reasonable
These drives are noisy compared to IDE or SATA drives. If you really NEED
the added speed for editing, they are pretty straight forward for setup,
similar to adding an IDE drive onto a controller card or on your
motherboard. The difference is the cable has a few more wires but a similar
connector and power supply

I personally think he would be better buying a couple of SATA-II drives
of large capacity and spending the rest of the cash on a faster
processor, as an 800Mhz one isnt really going to cut it.
