[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1498228, member: 56379"] - The 2.7ghz i5 iMac has a cpu benchmark score of 8196 - The 2.3ghz i7 Mac-Mini has a cpu benchmark score of 10,626 As long as you only use this computer for your music projects...and as long as you already own a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for the Mac-Mini...then the Mac-Mini may be the better buy (for you). Also remember that neither the Mac-Mini or the iMac have an optical drive. So if you want to "burn" music disks...you will need an external optical drive. - Nick p.s. You mentioned a 2.6ghz i5 iMac. At the current time I do not believe there is a 2.6ghz i5 iMac...so the benchmark score above was for a 2.7ghz i5 iMac. [/QUOTE]
