    Well for your needs, the mac will be great. But they aren't cheap, many people on here will just go on about how expensive they are. If you have the money then go for it, best decision I made.

    If all your doing is MSN and coding and the like, there isn't justification for a iMac. Get a high specification Mac mini and a nice display.
    I could be wrong, but iMac's not really targeted at your needs (most people with iMac's who I know use them in schools/offices etc.) whereas a Mac mini is more suited.
    I guess if you've got the cash to burn then go ahead, they are a really sexy machine.

    I have a Mac Mini, low specification one but I put the ram up to 2GB and I have an external 500GB. But anyway, the speed on boot up is great, everything is great. If you want to go for an iMac, then do it. I want one but didn't have the money at the time when I got the mini. The speed will be fine for you, just upgrade the ram to 2GB/3/4. Although I suggest doing it yourself and not paying the rip off Apple sell

    Yes, but some wireless mice and keyboards might not work, you'd need to check the manufacturers website to make sure
    That went fast.

    If you wanted something in between the mini and the imac maybe go for the higher spec mini. The 2ghz superdrive version.


    My mate also upgraded his himself and put a 250gb hdd and upgraded ram to 3 gb for arround £100.
