[QUOTE="kociara, post: 1471795, member: 283873"] Hi Nick, Thank you for all the imput! Yes, of course, the idea is to potentially save money ( rather than buy a brand new at more than twice the cost potentially). Unfortunatelly, I don't have much time to browse around as being made redundant, finishing my current employment next week and the company has just now got back to us with the offer for us to potentially buy the hardware off them at a reduced price ( it was our request to check if it was possible). I need to decide by Wed/Thurs next week basically if I want to take the offer up. I would be more comfortable, admitedly, buying this second hand one rather than something off ebay. As you say, I know it worked for me just fine though it is a bit worrying that a couple of my collegues had issues with the same batch of iMacs purchased for us.... I actually have a PC at home with a fab SpectraView 2490 monitor which is excellent for colour proofing, considering moving to Mac at home as it will be handy to use wiyth the Adobe Publishing Suite to make apps for tablets- that only works on mac OS. Unless I can install Mac OS on a PC (perhaps a naive question but I know people run Windows on Apple hardware)? I could get far better specs upgrading my PC to 32GB memory and a fast processor at a fraction of the price. Then again if this deal is 'good' then perhaps worth considering, which is what I am doing now :) So, I am not your typical Mac fan club customer, in fact a lot of what the company does annoys me ( hate itunes and general lack fo flexibility) and I think products are overpriced on the whole.
