[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 562092, member: 26315"] For me I'd go the imac route. Sure both it and the G5 you listed are great machines the imac is a much better machinne though. And Photoshop CS3 is optimised for the new intel macs. Also the imac (if intel) has the option to go on Windows easily. And I had a look on the UK apple store and 3 of the 3 imacs there are under your £1200 limit. Personally I'd go for the upper of the 2 20" models . The lower 20" one is actually cheaper then the G5 you are talking about. And upgrade the ram yourself to 2 or 4 GB. But if you need the screen real estate then go for the lower of the 2 24" models. I'd have a play with both in the store and see which is better for you. [/QUOTE]
