It's about time to upgrade my set-up. I'm trying to decide if I should by a new iMac with all the bells and whistles it can hold, or a base line Power Mac. If I get the Power Mac I will still have to spend a good bit more to purchase the monitor. I'm thinking it will be about an $800 price difference.
Most of what I do is graphic design and photo editing. I do on occasion record music and video edit, but that's more of a hobby.
I was excited about the new iMac, but I'm not too sure about those glossy monitors. Any designers or photo editors out there run into any problems with them? I hate to buy an all-in-one unit like the iMac and discover that I hate the screen. On the flip side, it has about everything I need at a decent price.
Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.

. Besides, if you're serious in your design and photography, you probably won't want the glossy screen of the iMac, IMHO. If you can afford a Mac Pro and it doesn't phase the pocket book too much, go for it
