Any ideas on the best deals available?

I am gearing up to purchase a new Mac and I'm wondering what the best deals are these days. This will be my fifth Mac (after the PowerMac 9600, PowerMac G3 Blue & White, PowerMac G4, iBook G4).

The last three purchases were through MacMall, which was a good deal, but I've just arrived back in the US from Australia and it seems like Mac purchasing has changed in the past three years. I would appreciate any tips or sightings anyone could post. I'm looking for a 20" iMac with 2 gigs of RAM and a sweetener of a discount on Adobe products or Parallels is always nicer than a free printer, I say.

Forgive me if this post is in the wrong forum, but it seems like the most logical place. Thanks in advance.

I think macmall offers parallels for $10 with a purchase and a free printer after a rebate or something. Best option is to google search pricing.
Mac has a refurb site so you can pick up something for a few hundred off.
but the iMac is new so I don't know what kind of real incentives you will find.

Thanks for that, bryphotoguy. It looks like MacMall is still the way to go!
