Gamer's Dream iMac

I am new to Mac and have a few questions about an iMac I saw on macosrumors.com.

1: How reliably is macosrumors.com ?
2: Will this have the ability to edit HD?

Yeah, games aren’t the thing Macs do best. I was looking at is as a video editing Mac.

1. It is as reliable as any other unsubstantiated claim or conjecture can be. It is merely what the site is named, a rumor, not a fact. Interpret it as you like.

2. And again, since any article or claim on that site is nothing more than a rumor, no one person can answer that any better than the next person can. Your guess is just as good as anyone else's.

Ha, they'll have to make a 23" iMac to handle all the heat from that thing. Dual GPUs with 256mb ram each and a dual core 2.8ghz processor should be enough to keep your room toasty in the winter too

And the PowerMac G5 isn't?

Actually, my point was not to the post above mine (maybe I should've hit "Quote"), but I meant as to the "gamer's dream".

I know it would be kind of hard to give up the slots, but you could easily beef up a PowerMac with a lot more than anything you could even cram inside of a 30" iMac (ok, maybe not, but you get my point).
