[QUOTE="Azryael, post: 1636703, member: 340770"] I'm aware of the age of the software that sailor#1 provided in his post. I have CS6 for Windows, and that will likely last me for the next few years (not feeling the whole subscription fee deal Adobe is now offering). The most up-to-date tools/software I'd actually be using is XCode. I have my main PC rig for any modern software needs if there's something that I couldn't get to run on the Mac. I do wish to get something that will provide me enough horsepower to multitask while still giving me a few more years of headroom in terms of usage without suffering the depreciation costs like buying a new car when purchasing a new machine (funny how values of "used" articles go up again when being resold through the same vendor/dealer ;) ). I'm set on a 2011-2012 system; now I'm just going to wait around for the right price/deal to pop up. All I'd really need is just the tower, no need for mouse and keyboard or monitors. [/QUOTE]
