Mac peeps, what am I missing?

I know the PM has the option for a higher end card, but I'm cheap and wouldn't get it anyway. The Radeon 9600 is good enough for me.

Actually, I ment the DVD+/-RW drive. But looking at it now, they are both 8x.

The iMac doesn't have DVI or ADC output like the Powermac does.

The iMac comes with a 250 GB drive compared to the Powermac's 80.

The iMac includes Bluetooth and 802.11G, the Powermac doesn't.

The powermac has some added on doohickeys that no one really needs.


If I were you, I would go with the iMac.

BTW...a computer guy like yourself can probably get away with no Applecare. I didn't get it on my Powerbook, and everything is just dandy. The stores also have free support, through the genius bar. I brought in mine (out of warrenty) with one broken key, and they replaced the entire keyboard free of charge.
