iMac is no-go

Couldn't quite go through with the iMac. Instead, I'm replacing most of the guts in my current machine (Athlon 64 X2 4400+, BFG 8600GTS, 2GB RAM, and a fresh motherboard) and running with that. Maybe some other time I will get a new Mac, but now is not that time I guess.

EDIT: back to more technical (and interesting, to anyone not being me) subjects soon. :-)

Why couldn't you go through with it?

Honestly, mostly because I decided to buy a bicycle instead. :-P

Heh, that works too. Gotta have priorities!

(I seriously need to get mine tuned up - it's been gathering dust for over three years, sigh)

Last time I told myself with an air of conviction that I was going to get something other than the anemic mac mini, I pulled up the apple store with gusto! Perused the selection...and ended up deciding on another mac mini. And I didn't even end up getting that.

I, too, am going your route.

I will likely revisit this decision in a while, but from experience I don't want to have multiple desktop systems. I mean, if my main home machine has dual 20" LCDs, and I have another desktop with a single monitor... I'm not going to spend much time on that one. And frankly, no one but me in my house is particularly interested in sitting in front of a desktop computer. :-)
