I snagged one of the 27" iMac's for $1500 shipped. Plus they threw in a free (after rebate) HP OfficeJet 6000 printer and Parallels software. Figure I'll pawn those off on Amazon or fleabay to bring my net cost down to $1400.
Thinking about pumping it up to 8 gigs of RAM...maybe even 16 gigs.
Also playing around with the idea of installing an SSD in there, perhaps the 115GB one that OWC sells. And though I think I'm capable of doing the 'surgery' myself, due to the hassle, I'm contemplating using OWC's 'turn key' service they provide for this. Basically comes out to $200 (on top of the cost of the drive...which is $195) for the service (I think). Or I was thinking of just getting the drive, putting it in a FW800 enclosure, and hooking it up externally. Decisions, decisions...
