Just running a PII 400 with 256 Meg RAM and two 20 Gig hard drives. Based upon Mr. Coates' response, I'm more than willing to consider getting an iMac for this specific situation, since I'd basically need to a whole new Windows machine to do this job; at least I'd be getting something that would do the job. Naturally, I haven't run this past the wife yet.

But considering the cost of taking these tapes to some type of conversion service, letting them have them for weeks at a time, paying who-knows-what for an hourly rate, I think it's pretty much a break-even when compared to buying an iMac and doing it myself. At least I wouldn't have to worry about tapes getting lost and having to blame someone else...!
