Don't need to. You pointed at a reply stating a ridiculously high number.
No, you aren't going to save $1000 in electricity over the life of the computer but an average user could easily save $100+ over 3-5 years.
Got a tip for us?

Do I have to say this?
Define interesting.

The mini is no more a toy than a NetBook. They have niches but they're not a toy. The Magic Mouse is a toy.
How is an Intel P8800 Penryn Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz processor with 8 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD in a 6" by 6" by 2" box with gigabyte IP a toy?
As clueless rambles on......
Contrary to your narrow minded outlook, many consumers, as well as pros, opt for a high-quality, high-caliber, space-saving, well-designed, and elegantly crafted (overpowered)
system, which is untethered to a 'big box.' I have yet to toss any previous iMac I've owned - many of which have been sold for more than half their purchase price, others which have been relegated
to other rooms of the office and house, all of which are still running. The Mini, which you consider a toy, happens to be more powerful than the commercial 'Surface Tables' currently offered by
MS for +$10,000. (pretty expensive Etch-A-Sketch) The Dell Quad i5/i7 systems you mention are neither complete solutions, nor do they completely match the specs offered by the 27" iMac.
Least interesting, is your persistent , incessant whining and trite sarcasm - it seems quite apparent that you've been chugging large quantities of Window's Kool-Aid: ethylene glycol.
PSA: 90-day free Windows 7 trial
It wont work, no matter how intelligently you word it.
Oh, and Windows Kool-Aid has severe mind altering ingredients in it. Apple Kool-Aid just has addictive substances in it.
honestly i would say its the other way around
whatever the case, apple-aid is delicious.

There was subtlety in there. Mac Fanboys always liked Macs from first sight. (Guilty as charged)
Imagine the ecstatic revelation for those who had been previously condemned to sucking up that ghetto juice called Windex.

Dude, you got owned. It is time you stopped posting on this thread to save yourself further embarrassment

Re Read the posts, you're confusing yourself. Aiden was the Subject, not me. But then I probably omitted too much.
Basically ammonia, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, butoxyethanol - it is a househould cleaner here in the states, used mainly to clean Windows.
Besides, Windows is far too utilitarian to include any drugs which might be considered recreational in nature.
Rofl.
The one on the right is Vista, the one on the left is 7.
(Okay okay, this is taking it a little too far)

I just lost a hard-on on them - ROFLMAO!!!!
TMI!
I see what you did thar.
Spot on analogy, BTW!
DBWBT - the both of them, 7 being slightly less bloated.
I think my voice got lost in this thread. My point was always about the dual quad cores. In this space, Apple is very, very competitive in price. And that is still too expensive!
I have been frustrated with the lack of Apple quad core presence, until now. The iMac 27 inch meets my needs of a faster processor (i7 or better), more than 8 GB of ram max, and new hi-res monitor for 3d and visual FX work.
Somehow, Apple basically targeted my needs with this release. And I'm happy, but I'm holding off for Cinebench numbers on the iMac core i7 2.8.
Zzzzz....
It's always amusing to hear the "Kool-Aid" or "sheep" accusations from the Windows (90% market share) crowd. These people apparently own no mirrors.
But hey, Windows 7 was AidenShaw's idea!
An industrial designer friend of mine has been wanting to go Mac for years. He bought an iMac for family use, but continued to rely on his home-built PC for all his CAD work, which unfortunately is a Windows-dominated world. He decided he would be going to an iMac - I advised he wait for an imminent new product announcement. The new 27" iMac announced last week almost seemed like it was custom-designed for him. Huge display, quad-core processing, great RAM expansion capacity. Needless to say, he's placing his order with Apple today.
Seems Apple's lineup has plenty of "interesting" products for plenty of people after all, despite what the Winbots on this site vehemently argue.

I am also curious about heating/cooling/noise issues with the i7 model. Definitely want to see the reviews and benchmarks before placing any orders.
