Here's what I would say, based on the applications you will be running. I'm not sure about the rest, but if you get into some of the more complex editing a lot of RAM will help. Plan on 1GB bare minimum and 2GB if you want a little more than the minimum. If you want to get a little more fancy you can see what they have in faster hard drives.
Do Macs have external serial ATA connections? eSATA? They are faster than USB and Firewire for external hard drives used for backup of important data. You DO backups, right?
For me, a Mac is not necessary, although now that they use the Intel processers and are getting ready to support Windows as well as the Apple OS it is gaining appeal in my eyes.
