Hi guys!

I was browsing my campus' computer store, and came across a sheet of "Apple Clearance" items.

They have the last rev. 2.8Ghz aluminum iMac for only $1,199.

24" 2.8 C2D
2GB
8X SD
ATI Radeon 2600XT w/ 256MB

Now, I really, REALLY wanted the new iMac with the 8800GS, cause I'd really enjoy playing games in Windows from time to time (since my roommate is quite the PC gamer). However, would I be stupid to buy that when this offer is staring me down? I think so... I can't justify an $850 difference for a video card upgrade.
 
Yeah, that's a very good deal - and also keep in mind that while the Radeon won't have you playing Crysis on high, it's capable of most existing games and is miles ahead of your current MacBook.
