[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1519690, member: 56379"] Not as crazy of an idea as someone might first think. Those 27" Thunderbolt displays are so expensive...that for just a little bit more cash...someone can purchase a lower-end iMac!:) But if we are talking the best cost alternative...then purchasing an iMac + a non-Apple display + a "regular" hard drive for backups would cost you MUCH MUCH less!!! You don't NEED the 2nd external monitor to be an Apple product...and you don't NEED the Apple Time Capsule to do backups. Yes I know that you mentioned that aesthetics is important in the room it is going in (so maybe you don't want a non-Apple external display). But are two iMacs sitting side by side going to be aesthetically pleasing where everything is being placed??? I'm just asking...since I don't know what you find aesthetically pleasing.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
