[QUOTE="KiwiJenn, post: 534063, member: 41849"] Hi Jay and welcome:) I'm fairly new here and trying to work out which way to go as well. I would also suggest checking out the iMac 20" as you can upgrade the RAM to 4GB if needed and you will have way less wires all over the place. I'm in the same position as you Airborneforest also:) I started my search in August and almost conviced myself I will go with iMac, then got another quote for a custom build PC. The build PC would save me like $800 compared to the iMac with an upgrade to 2GB RAM. The PC would even have quad duo core 2.4ghz. But I think for me Dual Core 2.4GHz is plenty fast enough, having the PC at a cheaper cost with Quad core would be a bonus but really not needed. The cost is the difference. I'm also speaking NZ$ here. I love the look of the iMac, no big case, less wires, no virus/spyware protection needed, slim keyboard and something new to try out for 4-5yrs. [/QUOTE]
