This is the second attempt at this post, my pc just crashed 
As a long term PC gamer i am about to hit 40, something funny happened 6 months ago, i got bored with games! Now my pc is used for photography and video. Problem is my son is always gaming on the pc and I worry I could lose all my images (even thought its all backed up).
Then it hit me have an iMac for my 40th and give him the pc for his "homework" so off i went to the shops to have a look, wow what can i say i fell in love with the 27" monster, unfortunately as my wife put it (I can always dream)! So I dont know what to do now would the bottom end 21.5" model be suitable for me? As its more in her price range
I own autocad (for work), photoshop and lightroom all pc versions and i would need to continue using them would this be possible i believe with bootcamp? Sorry but i have never owned a mac so its completely new to me I have no idea if it will compare with my 3.4ghz pc.
would i regret going for the smaller one? Also is the apple care 3 year thing worth it, I have been reading some horror stories or so it seems with the new imacs would i just be heading into a workd of hurt?
