Snes9x 1.52
- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The structure of savestates (also known
as snapshots / freeze files) is incompatible with older
versions! Snes9x 1.52 cannot read the savestates created
by 1.51 or older. (zones)
- Highly acculate SPC700 and S-DSP emulation. (Blargg)
- Replaced APU emulation cores (SPC700 and S-DSP) with
ones provided by Blargg's SNES_SPC library. This renders
savestates incompatible with older versions. (BearOso, zones)
- SPC7110 emulation. (byuu, neviksti)
- Merged bsnes' SPC7110 emulation code. Note that the .rtc
file of Far East of Eden Zero is incompatible with older
versions. (zones)
- Removed graphics pack support. It's no more necessary. (zones)
- Replaced S-RTC emulation code with bsnes' one to keep the
good compatibility of .rtc files between the two
emulators. As a result, Daikaijuu Monogatari 2 now
outputs the .rtc file, and its .srm file is incompatible
with older versions. (zones)
- Added savestate supports for DSP-2, DSP-4, ST-010 and
OBC1. (zones)
- Added UPS support. (byuu)
- Fixed DSP-4 AI problem. (Jonas Quinn)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in C4 and OBC1 codes. (zones)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in BSX codes. My mistake. (zones)
- Fixed the read value of $213e, $4210 and $4211. (zones)
- Fixed the writing of word values at the memory boundary. (zones)
- Fixed the bug that the unnecessary SA-1 emulation
continues once any SA-1 games are launched. (zones)
- Removed old color blending codes. (zones)
- Removed too-old Snes96 and ZSNES snapshot support. (zones)
- Updated command-line options. (zones)
- Code cleaning. (zones)
- GTK+ : Added a port of Snes9x to the GTK+ toolkit. (BearOso)
- Unix : Reconstructed and simplified all the contents.
Some features have been removed to be simple, and many
options have changed. GTK+ port is recommended for most
of Linux users. (zones)
- Win32: Now uses snes9x.conf to prevent problems with
modified meaning of settings. (OV2)
- Win32: Removed broken OpenGL mode. (OV2)
- Win32: Removed support for 8bit output. (OV2)
- Win32: Reworked settings dialogues to accomodate the
new APU core and display settings. (OV2)
- Win32: Updated defaults to use D3D and XA2 (better
Vista and Win7 support). (OV2)
- Win32: Direct3D and XAudio2 support. (OV2)
- Win32: Added Blargg's ntsc filter (three presets). (OV2)
- Mac : Fixed corrupted screenshot on Intel Mac. (zones)
- Mac : Fixed sudden abort in QuickTime movie export on
Intel Mac. (zones)
- Mac : Changed sound settings for the new APU core. (zones)
- Mac : Changed the default folder which Snes9x looks for
to 'Application Support' folder. (zones)
- Mac : Changed folder names: 'IPSs' -> 'Patches',
'BIOSs' -> 'BIOSes'. (zones)
- Mac : Added Blargg's ntsc filter. (zones)
- Mac : Internal changes for Leopard and Snow Leopard. (zones)

On the topic of prices, why are intel CPUs / mobos so expensive? It seems that a Phenom II X4 945/955/965 and fitting motherboard would be cheaper. Is the Core i5 (4x 2666 MHz) really faster than the Phenom X4 965 (4x 3400 MHz) in your workloads, or did you just opt for Intel by default? Because (at least at my vendor) the Phenom costs 15€ less, and in my experience matching motherboards are a bit cheaper es well.
- do you actually have a full-HD monitor? As far as productivity goes, a good monitor or two are worth more than a few MHz under the hood.
- get rid of the 60GB HD, maybe even the 160GB. Those must be old enough to die anytime. You could use one of them for swap and temporary files until it dies, but obviously don't trust them with important data.
- on that note, don't trust the RAID with important data, either. A RAID is for speed and availability, not for data security - it cannot replace backups. It only takes a virus or filesystem corruption and your data is gone from all three disks at once.
- try to keep the HDs cool. If you actually plan to cram 6 HDs into an older chassis, things might get a little hot.

Why the nvidia-specific technology and not DirectCompute or openCL? nvidia claims to cater the HPC segment, but they're losing customer after customer because they cannot deliver fermi. Of all the GPGPU APIs, I wouldn't expect CUDA to matter in the long term.
yes, it will, GPU efficiency varies depending on the workload. You'll want a PSU that reaches high efficiency at the workload you're expecting. But yeah, as you're taking it out of someone else's wallet, I don't think you'll spend days googling reviews and stuff.

<flamewar> You should totally go for Linux instead of that Windows crap </flamewar>
Can't say much about the CPU, I'm not informed about Intel's offerings right now. Would be pointless anyway, since it's already ordered. No comments about the motherboard, either, although any recent mobo should have it's own audio processor onboard.
4 GB Ram should be the minimum for video editing, but you can always add another 2x2 when you have the money.
The GTS 250 is just a rebranded 9800 GTX, a card from mid-2008. It was high-end back then, but ATIs current mid-range GPUs are stronger, more modern (DX11 / openCL) and draw less power. If you plan to use the system for another quantupillion years before upgrading, lower power consumption can save you a bunch of money. Don't forget to figure that in when comparing prices. I've gotten a HD 5770 for christmas, no regrets so far.
PSU: look for something with a high efficiency will save you long-term costs. No specific recommendations here, go browsing. I don't think you need 650W, even with 6 hard drives - try any of the online PSU calculators, you'd be surprised how few is actually enough. PSUs are usually more efficient close to their specified load, so don't overdo it.
