[QUOTE="sevenhelmet, post: 118221, member: 10935"] You are looking at two VERY different platforms. Unless you are absolutely convinced that you need the speed of the Power Mac (as I was when I bought my dual 2.3 Ghz), then you'll be just as happy saving $1200 and getting the iMac, which is still a VERY GOOD MACHINE (and has its own display.) As a bonus, you can get a very legal, third party patch which allows the iMac to use an external monitor in extended desktop mode (double your real estate!) I don't know where to get it at the moment though, so please- don't ask! Maybe somebody else on here does. What sort of monitor do you have? I noticed that your price estimate does not include the price of a display, since I know the 2.7 Ghz is $3K to start. That might influence your decision a bit. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
