[QUOTE="Lightcraftsman, post: 1416889, member: 253972"] Since you already have an excellent monitor I suggest you get the Mac Pro. Upgrading RAM on either is dead simple, but you do not want to try upgrading the hard drive on an iMac. On the Mac Pro adding three internal HDs is easy. The only advantage the iMac has is Thunderbolt. You won't miss that with internal drives. Caveat: we really can't give you solid recommendations without knowing what apps you need to use. The Mac Pro is a better PhotoShop machine. The iMac meets 95% of user's needs for less money, and you can use your current monitor in a two-display setup. [/QUOTE]
