I could too, now anyway. Back in June when I bought it, it was a different story. Remember to include a 2560X1440 27"ish monitor too, that makes a huge difference being that they were (and still are) $900+. Of course, that’s not necessary to build a machine that will outperform mine, I understand that.

The biggest factor in me buying the iMac was the screen, for what it’s worth. I wanted more real estate for editing my photo’s and it’s glorious for just that 🙂
