Well, I think I've decided, due to money problems as a college student, an iMac would be sufficient for my needs. Yes, a Mac Pro is tempting, but if I ever need those 16 GB of RAM, I'll just upgrade then. Also, looking at the iMac specs, it isn't bad at all. And with the included monitor, iSight, etc. it is a steal compared to the Mac Pro as a consumer machine. Even if I went for the new 24" model, which is unlikely, it is still a VERY good deal. But I'd mostly settle for the 20", because of the $500 difference in the Edu. store. Oh well, I guess the 4x3GHz and 16GB of RAM would stay a dream for me then.
