Take a look at Barefeats.com for a head-to-head ... the new iMac vs MP hex and others.

In my situation, the headless Pro still wins out due to connectivity, expandability, and the fact there is no attached monitor (my Mac s not in my control room). But, the new top-end iMac tests neck in neck with the 5,1 3.33 Hex MP.

You're gonna' love your new iMac!

I did some research and I think I will add a LaCie Drive http://www.lacie.com/cafr/products/product.htm?id=10573

The speed seems ok to install all the samples on it !!!!

I cannot wait for the iMac
