I'm in the market for a desktop to compliment my MBP from 2008, to progress my video and graphics production business.

I'm curious whether there are any pro's using the Quad iMac to operate small media production companies specialising in the following app usage:

Final Cut Pro Studio 3, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, After Effects CS5, Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, Lightroom 3 and I'm tinkering a lot more with FCPX.

The spec I'd consider at least are:

Quad i7 3.4, 256SSD with 1TB HDD, 6970 2GB GPU... 11,000+ on Geekbench...

I'd appreciate anyone with advice to chime in, and describe their experiences.

My main concern is heat. :confused:
