I work inhouse with an animation studio - we do all our editing from animatic to offline in FCP on macs - then it goes to an Autodesk Smoke for onlining running off its own linux server (i think? but since NAB it can now run off a high specced MacPro too). FCP, with a proper network storage set-up, has become real stable handling HD etc but can't do the heavy lifting/fx your dedicated Smoke/Flame system can do (or Avids I guess but our post supervisor hates them so we've never had one)
All audio is on macs.

They're not that old, yet so unstable. I don't get these "qualified" HP Workstations. Everywhere I've seen them in seems to have untold reliability problems with them :(

Interesting, everyone outside of post ie. on the animation floor is on PCs and we just got a load of HP workstations - turns out they specced bad graphics cards in all of them. They make nice monitors mind you...
