[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1047363, member: 45350"] I'm going to give a heretical answer, but first on Applecare. You can buy it anytime within the first year, but waiting doesn't give you any longer coverage. As far as advice on a new computer (here's the heretical part). I'm assuming you probably already have a pretty good monitor and keyboard, are you sure your needs wouldn't be adequately served with the latest generation Macmini? 2.53GHz : 320GB 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB memory 320GB hard drive 8x double-layer SuperDrive NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics Mac OS X Snow Leopard Ships: Within 24hrs Free Shipping $799.00 One thing to check, depending on what size display you have, is if the Macmini can drive it. I don't have the 30" Apple Display, but I seem to remember seeing somewhere that not every Mac was capable of driving it. Going from memory here, and couldn't find anything about it at the Apple Store web site. [/QUOTE]
