Ok, I have two options, first one is to wait till they release the next mac pro and get it, and the second is to build my own computer with $2500. The build my own computer costs less and will probably be more powerful, but I do a lot of developing and I wouldn't be able to develop iPhone apps or other widgets. I love osx and hate 7, but a lot of my programs are for windows only, although I could do a boot camp for an extra 50. If you were in my situation, what would you do?
Got a tip for us?

Personally, I would wait to get the next mac pro. Supposedly it is going to get several needed upgrades. I currently use bootcamp on my mac pro and it runs much better than on most pc's in my house. It is also worth the extra money because mac os x runs smoothly and doesn't hog up a lot of memory allowing you to do a lot of stuff and once and with all the memory you can put in a mac pro you will never be able to use it all.
Seems like an odd choice. Either you want a Mac or you want a PC. I don't think too many people here want a PC and use them only when absolutely necessary. However, if you go for the MP I'd wait for the new ones to be announced. I'm waiting with baited breath myself as my current MP is 4 years old.
Hmmm. With parallels or vmware is it easy to transfer files between the windows os and the mac os? Like lets say I'm running cs4 in parallels on 7 and maya on mac, would I be able to easily send a file to it, or drag and drop or is that even possible?
