Hi there,
I'm buying a 2011 iMac with a student discount.
At the moment I'm looking at getting:
3.4ghz i7
4gb RAM
6970 with 2GB
1TB HD
I only have about 1700 to spend. I want a computer that can play games from 2011 on relatively OK settings but I also want to bring my playstation 3 to university. That gives me the option of getting a cheaper 21.5inch imac and getting a cheap 27 inch 1080p monitor.
I currently have a 2007 MBP and a gaming PC from 2007 which I'm giving to my dad.
I'll be using the iMac to study, write essays, OCCASIONALLY play games in win7, do some casual video editing, edit photos and do some web developing.
I have a few questions:
1) In my position would you a) get a 27 inch imac b) get a 21.5 2.2ghz model and a TV or c) get a shuttle and a nicer TV
2) are there any Kanex XD or belkin devices in the pipeline so I can use my iMac as a monitor for my PS3/360?
