    It looks nice, but it's pretty standard for a new sliding glass patio door now. I guess I read the marketing info too much. The girlfriend will like it because the room will be warmer now in the winter.

    27 inch iMac with
    3.4 Quad Core i7
    4 gb ram (although I already ordered 8 more to upgrade it to 12 right away)
    256 sdd + 1tb hdd
    and
    radeon hd 6970m with 2 gb ram


    Paid for it this morning, it should arrive in a week or so, cant wait.

    I know there will be an iMac refresh soon but I need it for work and I can't continue doing video editing on my wife's 15 inch 2010 macbook pro.

    That must have cost a **** ton. My new Macbook Pro I just bought broke me and it was $2300.

    New pair of Nike Air Relentless shoes. Saw them in a flyer for a sale at Olympia Sports this week, went and got them for 20% off because I thought they looked nice. I'm not a big shoe person.

    Nice. Just think how many stocks you could have had for that price

    32 gig compact flash card.

    Do you have any idea what any of that marketing jargon you just said means?

    Gas filled windows and doors are worth it.

    Just wondering how many custom builds you might have made with that kind of money

    Noble gases are good at reducing heat transfer through windows due to having less heat conductivity than normal air. Tempered glass is the kind that shatters into small granules instead of jagged shards. His apparently has a fear of deposits :P.

    Yeah, it is really expensive, and I could have bought a more powerful custom build PC for half of the money I paid for this iMac but I work on Final Cut and I need a machine on which I can learn to use After Effects. Time I'll save working on that machine instead of my wifes poor medium strenght 2010 macbook pro, easiness of use, possibility of adding After Effects to my skills, it will pay off itself just fine. If it was a non work related thing, I would probably buy a nice gaming dekstop and macbook air to attach to that desktops monitor when needed/if I want to use a mac on a big screen.

    p.s. Obviously there are some great video editing programs for Windows, but I prefer Final Cut X and in general Mac.

    I don't blame you. I prefer Final Cut also, and OSX for when I'm doing my work/school stuff (Adobe Design Suite)
