Gone to the Darkside...Hello Macbook! - Page 3

I figured out everything I need a computer for (even a fucking Internet server) can be covered by a $700 Mini, that rolls back to only 13 watts at idle, and makes no detectable fan noise. I have two on my desk now (one running all my Internet shit), and I'm enjoying the shit out of a low electric bill, and near-total silence (hell, the fucking air rushing out of my A/C vents is now the loudest thing in the room).

What's not to love? Fanbois can crack on the Mac all day long...I'm running fucking Windows on this shit (personal interface preference), and it's the fucking bomb.

I wouldn't mind having one of their 27" iMacs, they are priced pretty reasonable.

I've got a 24". The 27 wasn't out when we bought these.

I came very close to buying one during the tennessee tax free weekend, but I couldn't get the specs I wanted for one of these under $1500 to qualify for tax free.

I won't lie to you, I love this computer. 1TB HD, 4 gigs of Ram. Giant display. Fast as hell.
