[QUOTE="ParadigmShift, post: 1626344, member: 339283"] That's true but I'm basing this around a timeframe in regards to how soon I can pay down my CC for another large purchase. That being said, my budget is modest and it doesn't account for overtime and bonuses so if all goes well I could be ready as early as March. If not than definitely May/June Well I did a bit more research and it seems that the current line has the i7s delegated strictly to the Mac Pros. (which is dissapointing). However I found this in the refurb section. [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0PG2LL/A/refurbished-27-inch-imac-35ghz-quad-core-Intel-Core-i7]Refurbished 27-inch iMac 3.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] And it's equipped with an i7-4770 which is no slouch and it seems to fit the criteria that I'm looking for. Well when I say "fix" I generally am referring to "part replacement" which I'm quite good at. Though I have been burned a couple of times, I can still confidently say that I've saved far more money by attempting to fix my own problems than what I would have spent had I invested in extended warranties, certified techs, or replacements. Though I get where you're coming from and the main reason I'm migrating to Mac is because I'm tired of all the hassle and I just want things to work. So that being said I'll consider your advice. :) [/QUOTE]
