xxsashixx Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well.. I've been thinking about this one.. I'm not too sure what to get, an iMac 20", then upgrade it to 2GB of ram OR Should I build my own PC that is a whole lot better than the iMac, specs are E6750 (July 22nd released, 2GB of ram, 320GB HDD, 7900GS KO). I'll be mostly doing video making/editing, using audio software and working and then sometimes playing games like CS:S and such. Also my budget is ~1000$ but I wouldnt mind going over if the mac is alot better, also is the mac mini a good deal, and i heard its going to be discontinued. Thanks, any comments are welcomed :pirate2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56593-get-a-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfsasx Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 i would get a mac if you have the money... check the refurb section on apple dot com they have nice imacs for cheaper, here's a good deal Refurbished iMac 17-inch 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SuperDrive 17-inch widescreen display 1GB memory 160GB hard drive 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) ATI Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 memory Built-in iSight camera • Save 13% off the original price Original price: $1,199.00 Your price: $1,049.00 Estimated Ship: Within 24 hours Free Shipping owning a mac is an experience we all should have cause it just feels so much easier to me and so much more managable but thats just me, Dont go hackintosh if you dont have to, or dont go xp or vista if you dont have to.... my vote is for the MAC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56593-get-a-mac/#findComment-404359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewno Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 iMacs will be upgraded soon. Wait for it then rethink your options, that's what I'd do in your place. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56593-get-a-mac/#findComment-404406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
