Hi

I have really good news. So i just got this HUGE bonus check for $10 000. so i decided to give $2500 to my ever-growing savings account. So i baisically have an extra $7500 to spend!

So my current set-up is a iMac 17", eyeTV, a pair of 2.1 creative speakers.

So i guess my first step would be upgrading ram. after that i'm open to any suggestions. i mainly just do some video and music editing for my friends, leisure, etc.

So post your suggestions.

PS dont suggest a MacPro

If you want to put some if it into computer stuff, hold onto it and buy a 24'' next-gen iMac when they are released. Just cuz you have money now doesn't mean you need to spend it now.

(A 17'' screen really is tiny...)

I suggest putting $7500 in savings and spending the $2500 on the new Mac.

17" has a yucky graphics card

get a Mac Pro with a 30" display

 

[yagran]

why not put $500 in savings. then sell the imac you have, boost it back up a bit, then buy a bigger sharper faster iMac..my 2pence

If you believe in the company why not buy $7500 worth of mac stock.

As to the $2500. Hold on, get ready to eBay the 17" (or put it in the Kitchen), then buy a shiny new iMac when released.

First, that would be Apple stock, not Mac stock. Second, while I'm not saying it won't keep going up, because I believe it will, right now might not be the best time to buy. AAPL hit an all time high today.

Or donate to a charity...

Doh...

Yeh, thats what I told my Dad around $89.

You have to pay taxes anyway. Might as well pay it to a charity rather than the feds/state.

Thank you

Hey thanks for posting your suggestions.

i totally forgot about leopard coming out. haha

so i decided i would probably sell this 17' and get a MacBook Pro when leopard comes out, probably a 15'.

i also plan to get a 1080p monitor, so i kinda need some help on that, any suggestions

 

[kenji]

about the charity thing, i donated 1500 to the SPCA, since i got my dog from them.
