Picked up the Mac Pro tonight. Dual 2.8ghz, 320mb HD, 2gb RAM, nVidia 8800GT upgrade. Got The Boy a purple iPod Nano, OSX 10.5.4 for The Lovely Harvey's machine (if she wants it) and a copy of Parallels.
Ordered two Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP from Dell (duh).
Ordered two 1tb Seagate 7200.11 SATA drives and a copy of XP from Newegg. I would have ordered RAM, but they are out of 2x1gb kits. For just $50 more I could have gotten a 2x2gb kit, but I am unsure if I can mix and match 2x2 + 2x1.
Yes, I paid more for the box than I would have if I had just made a windows box. Games and CAD are all I want a windows box for; everything else I prefer the Mac OS and after my Linux experiment, have no desire to do another do-it-yourself-you're-on-your-own OS.
In a related bit of humor; FuzzyGeff is the person who talked me out of stealing music and into Apples. He refuses to use iTunes, buy an iPod or a new Apple because of their EULAs. He finally convinces me to switch, just as he gets fed up with them! Ah, irony, we meet again.
UPDATE: Add a desk to the pile. The Boy is getting the old one.
