I'm writing this from my recently built i7 based Windows 7 rig, but as of tomorrow I do believe I'll have purchased a 24" basic iMac along with a 13" basic MBP.
I'm doing this in an attempt to "grow up" and get away from Windows and some issues I'm having there, but at the same time it would be nice if all the games I've purchased through Steam aren't lost forever. I've looked into Crossover and am strongly considering that route (unless anyone has objections or comments?). The big issue on my mind right now is hardware.
Another reason for going to Mac is the design. At the same time, I'm not sure how well the mouse and keyboard would function for some Team Fortress 2 (or the iMac for that matter). I currently have a Razer Tarantula and Deathadder keyboard and mouse, but they clearly don't mesh well with the Mac design wise.
I really would like to purchase the wireless mouse and keyboard for the iMac, but I feel like that would instantly ruin any TF2 attempts on the computer (never had good luck with wireless and gaming in Windows anyway).
So from all of that above, here's what I'm hoping to get answered...
How well will a 24" iMac run Steam games (main concerns are specifically Team Fortress 2 and Sims 3 through crossover)?
Any decent recommendations for a mouse/keyboard?
