I've searched about a bit but no answer so much on this one...
At the moment I have an MBP which I hook up to my 20" monitor for comfort. Now, I play World of Warcraft, which works quite nicely (aside from some graphical/driver issues atm that MBP owners like msyelf are awaiting a fix for ).
But I get worried with it as it gets really hot, the fan starts going, etc. I don't feel happy playing it for too long like that, and I'd rather if I were playing at a desk, to use a desktop system.
So I still use my PC for that, which of course has a nice big case and doesn't cook.
But I hate using my PC! So I do want to get a Mac desktop some time, too. It could be a ways off though...
How do iMacs cope with WoW play? Will I be worried about the heat/fans if I went for an iMac, too? Maybe I should just save some more and get a Mac Pro at some point down the line.
It's not like I play loads of top end games - it's literally JUST WoW and the rest of my computer time is all wonderful on my MBP I know Macs aren't gaming machines so not recommended for serious gamers, but fact is they do play WoW quite nicely And everything else is just amazing.
