[QUOTE="theonegod, post: 496412, member: 22259"] Expandability is always a plus but the reality is that the only expanding I will do in the mac pro is to change the video card, hard drives or ram. I can already swap the ram in an imac and if I get applecare I would assume hardware failures wont be something I have to worry to much about as they will do any repairs I need. The specs of the IMAC should be fine for a good long while. Least I would hope so. So, expandability at a steep price point, or integration style and a lack of cables. I picked up a Mac Pro last night to get a feel for it and noticed right off the lack of a mic, cam, bluetooth, wireless, and felt the limitations of the 1 gig of ram already. So if I were to keep the Pro in addition to the initial $200 price difference I would have to spend several hundred dollars just to catch up in periferals and that isn't even taking into account the fact that the IMAC included a rather nice LCD in its price. Honestly I fail to see why the pro costs as much as it does. Almost seems a rip. [/QUOTE]
