[QUOTE="FriendlyPCguy, post: 338631, member: 28016"] Greetings fellas, I'd like to jump in the Mac band wagon. I've been a PC owner for over 10 years. I'm torn between 2 Macs. Here goes: Mac mini, the Core 2 duo with the built in DVD burner. This one: MA206LL/A I was thinking of getting a 17in lcd monitor and USB kb/mouse. I would also want to use the monitor as a second monitor with my PC (dual monitor). I know I'm going to have to buy a kvm with a DVI monitor, not cheap. iMac MA590LL/A. This has a built in monitor of course, twice the ram, twice the HD and built in burner. This one is complete, however I won't be able to use a second monitor for my PC. But this one is a kickin machine. This will cost me about $250 more, but the hardware is much better. My background: I'm an I.T. guy. I have 3 PCs. 1 gaming desktop, 1 all around machine, 1 PC laptop. I want to jump into the Mac bandwagor because I want to do some video editing. I heard that iLife is great. What do you guys think? I have a mini-DV and I want to transfer movies and create DVDs. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
