agreed, but the price totally blows the man's budget. just a few months ago he was having a fire sale on his record collection in order to raise funds. what he needs is something cheaper that does the job, being that the perfect is (often) the enemy of the good, or the
good enough.
new macbook pros in january, so hold back...

These babies transcode R3D files > ProRes Quicktime files like a mutherfucker!
Editing HD material hasn't been easier.
Needed an inbetween machine to edit Sony PMW-EX1 footage for a client,
while I wait with anticipation for the new 16 Core Mac Pros, due in 2010.
This iMac's 27" 2560 x 1440 res screen is a dream come true.
The only two cons: a glossy screen and a single Firewire 800 port.
No big deal.

oh you lucky lucky dog! congrats on the awesome purchase! and post some pics if/when you can.
im holding on until the next big paycheck comes through next year to get the i7 or the i5-- those 27" screens are fucking gorgeous LCDs, the color is amazing, ive fucked with them at the mac store. fw800 has ample bandwidth and allows daisychaining, so the need for multiple ports isn't totally there, but my latest intel sez that you can actually edit on external usb2 drives. so there's some hope for a clear pipeline. plus when you go tapeless you can go like this: [cam or card reader] -> [external drive] -> cpu . same with fw interfaces -> drive -> cpu via a single FW channel.
now if they just had an esata port! but enjoy it-- the screen alone is practicall worth the price.
congrats again. now post some imac porn.
