Hi everyone,

I have been a PC user for about 12 years but have started to use my mac laptop increasingly because of work (im a graphic designer) and when i jumped back onto the pc after a week of using the mac... I found myself pressing keys that didnt exist on the pc like F11...

I am really missing some of the features from MAC OSX and started to think about getting a mac for home. This is where the problem is... I am currently running 3 monitors from my pc:

Dell 3007wfp 30"
2 x Dell 3007wfp 20"

How on earth can I run these on a MAC without buying a hugely expensive Mac Pro? My pc only cost around 700 pounds and so I refused to pay 1600+ for a similar performing MAC.

I assume I cant do this, as macmini doesnt support 2650 x 1600 never mind the other 2 monitors, all the laptops support 1 and mac pro is the only other option?

I think you are right - a Mac Pro is the only NEW option you could use. Perhaps you should consider a used PowerMac G5? These are excellent machines and are less expensive these days. Apple sells refurbished ones through their web site - you may wish to start watching and get yourself a good deal. Alternately of course there is eBay, but for an item of this magnitude, I would be a little worried about that....
