[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1397157"] Great! Where do I plug in my Thunderbolt RAID and my Firewire 800 drives? Also, did that $2,000 include the cost of a very high-quality, IPS, LED-backlit monitor? And a miniDisplayPort for the second monitor? Because an iMac would have those things for under $2,000 (one 27" monitor instead of two 24" ones, but I suspect the total resolution would be about the same). See, this is why Oneironnaut took the time and trouble to say "similarly spec'd." I'm not saying your machine isn't awesome or a good value, but call me when you can give me [B]EVERY. SINGLE. FEATURE[/B] (apart from OS X, obviously) that the 27" iMac has for "hundreds" less. And it would need to be MANY hundreds less due to loss of style points. :) Even then I won't be interested, because it can't run OS X, of course, but at least we'll be actually be comparing apples to Apples.
