Totally agree! I got mine all setup yesterday. It was well worth the wait for the i7!
hmmm. I think it's time to take the plunge...

Ugh! The Mad Scientist himself! *bow*
Any results from i5 iMacs would helpful. Only one Geekbench result so far.
Where are the i5 owners? Did they touch their new iMacs and fell asleep?
Anyone test AVCHD encoding in iMovie09 or Final Cut Express yet?
Like 1920x1080i footage from a HD camcorder. Some heavy stuff, my MBP chokes on it...![]()

Not a fan of the glossy at all... Have a window 2.5 meters behind me AND an aquarium... Gonna get some thicker curtains to cover up the window..
Ack. I am in a sunny room with windows on three walls with bright sunlight coming in. Will this glossy screen do me in? I know this is a subjective question, but I would appreciate your input.
No way do I want to put curtains up with the view I have.
If the glossy screen will not cut it, I will have to purchase a Mac mini and provide my own screen. I would prefer the option of a faster video card, but without going to the Pro - which is not an economic option for me - what else can I do?
I live out in the boonies and do not have the option to visit a Mac store.
Get a laptop and an external keyboard and screen? Expensive, too.
Yeah I hear ya but its very hard to control it and stay alive at the same time while video taping that thing but it's definately smooth even when I bumped the AA to 4x and AF all the way never went below 30fps. Once that TM backup is done I'm gonna install XP back on it and try out AION hopefully that runs nice too. That will be more of a test then COD4 IMO.
You could buy my Hackintosh, once MY i7 arrives![]()
I'm waiting for the 48 core chips...

I'm just excited about more cores! one can never have too many cores!!! woohoo!![]()
Out of curiosity, what caused you to go with Apple rather than staying the hack route?

I have also had to hard reboot the iMac with Snow Panther several times.
Do you mean Snow Tiger?
