In Response To: The BTO options look pretty sweet. (Spiff)

: 3 ghz Core2 Duo and a GeForce 8800. Nice.
: Definitely get at least the $1500 model. The $1200 iMac only ships with a gig
: of memory and a Radeon 2400 XT card, while the other two have 2GB and
: Radeon 2600 Pro cards.
I picked up my last rev iMac w/ 4 gigs of RAM and the 1/2 terabyte HD from a local business to business seller and only paid $80 for the RAM and $50 for the HD upgrade, if anyone is interested and has a valid business license, let me know and I'll hook you up w/ my distributor. All in all, Apple quote for the same unit came in at around $2g and I ended up paying about $1.5g so the savings from the iMac, FCS2 suite, Applecare, Trackball and an assortment of other peripherals, software, etc ended up saving me a good $2g's so if you have a business license, I'll hook you up with my contact.
I'm planning on getting a Mac Pro pretty soon but I'm still trying to weigh out the cost/performance in comparison to a couple of mac minis networked into FCP Server... Crazy times...
