This weekend I will be setting up my new iMac and Apple Time Capsule. I an planning on transferring my files from my Dell Inspiron 620 to my iMac using Migration Assistant. First question that I have is what kind of a cable will I need to connect my Dell PC to my new iMac so that I can Migrate my information? This is my first iMac so I'm new to all of this, although we do own iPads and iPhones. Any comments or suggestions on initial setup would be most appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

WiFi network will work as well but if you want the fastest transfer (and you will to get going with your new mac goodies) you'll want to transfer over ethernet. It's by far the easiest and fastest option.
