No way. A component station is the only way to go---the all-in-ones are cute and compact, but repair costs are extraordinary, and it means one whole station is offline during repairs. That's why I'm going with a component Mac set-up from now on. If I have, say, a video emergency, I can grab a refurbished monitor for about $40 at any computer exchange, and my station suffers little or no downtime. Same with CD/DVD drives & other peripherals---it's cheaper and more convenient to replace components. You just can't say the same thing about iMacs & eMacs. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
