[QUOTE="djmitch, post: 94729"] I thought a lot about the iMac, but I had problem with not only the limited upgradability, but also the monitor and computer being one unit - if the monitor fries on a Mini or PowerMac, I could quickly buy a new monitor and at least still use my computer! But what bugged me most of all was how the cost of the iMac G5 1.8 (with upgrades) was about equal to the PowerMac 1.8 single system - I could spend the same and get a way better system with the PowerMac. As for the dual PowerMac, cost is an issue here: trying to sell my wife on a $2,200 CDN single, using an OS that we've both never used yet, will be hard enough should I go that route!! [/QUOTE]
