[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 1230911, member: 3850"] The 21.5" model is 16:9, as opposed to the 20" iMac which was 16:10. So the screen might initially feel a bit smaller. The resolution is higher though, so you'll get a nice bump in usable screen real estate. Not trying to change your mind or anything (<– lies!), but do you really need the UPS? Americans will jump in here and tell you it's a necessity to prevent data loss during "brownouts", blackouts, lightning storms, earthquakes and other unpleasant events. But in Europe, with our new-fangled reliable powergrids and agreeably boring climates, I have never experienced a power grid issue that would require me to have a UPS. Obviously it's different in a server environment, but do you think you'll really need it at home? [/QUOTE]
