sulfo Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi all, I came into some money doing translation work which I want to use for a new Desktop computer. I'm basically left with the choices in the poll. I'm a student mainly so I get quite a good deal on the Macs... The Desktop should go along well with my MacBook Pro 1,67. I need it mainly for: College (ChemOffice (I study Food Chemistry), Office), Web Coding (DreamWeaver, CMS, a little graphic work with FreeHand and Photoshop, nothing spectacular), UT 2k4 ( ), and the Desktop must be able to connect to a TV for watching the ocassional movie... What would u guys reccomend me to do... Greetings! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7715-should-i/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
