Wow, that would be a sweet Quad-Core machine, with 30" display, 4GB RAM, 1TB of Disk. Mmm.
I like to do this from time to time, it's fun to imagine what I could have, and then I'm satiated. Ahh.
I used to do this with Apple computers all the time, but you know, after that whole thing where Steve Jobs switched to Intel after telling us for so long how hot the G5s were, I just lost my respect for him, and will never buy another Apple again. That includes the way overhyped iPhone.
