[QUOTE="super_doop, post: 20069"] I'm not quite sure what you mean by purely performance value. I think it really depends on what you are going to use the machine for. For me comparing the two models was more of a price difference. An emac fit better in the budget, plus I wanted more power. In buying an eMac, I added a superdrive, more memory and better speakers for cheaper than an iMac. Plus I added a Canon ZR70 digital camcorder and Final Cut express for all about the same price as decent iMac. I like the iMac because of the space saving quality, but the only big difference is the flat panel screen. The eMac is a tad bit bigger, but has a flat CTR screen which is really bright and sharp! I compared it to my friend's iMac and I think it has a little better quality of image. To sum up let me mention my first point though, it depends on what you want it for. I do graphic design and other media, and I am on a tight buget, so I didn't care as much about getting an iMac. I agree wholeheartedly with the Padawan's note that you can't make a bad decision when it comes to a Mac. I am so hooked on this machine now after spending years with a clone and working in a Windows-based I.T. department.
