I didn't buy my iMacs because they were "cute"...I bought them because they take up very little space on my desktop, are easy to move around or just remove from the desk if I need it for another project, and have been great in terms of meeting my graphic art needs. The repair costs were not extraordinary but were covered by Applecare anyway so they weren't an issue and in 5 years, I have only needed to take on iMac in for repair - it was repaired and back on my desktop in less than 24 hours. Component systems are a hassle to move around and after having two component systems for several years, I love the all-in-one set ups. Great function, less hassle, small footprints and lots of space in an instant should I need it. Amber -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
