[Dominic Deacon] "And PC hardware is seriously cheap. I got an i7 3.4ghz, 16gb RAM and nVidia graphics that runs all these programs lightning fast for significantly cheaper than the smallest iMac. The computers been as much of a revelation as the programs. Never crashes and no spinning beach balls. I hate the beach ball. It's very hard to justify the $2k plus (AUD) that Apple charges for the larger models."

That is misleading. I build systems for Edius and I use FCP in all flavors.

If you tried to build a machine similar to a MacPro in terms of built-quality, metal-housing, cooling layout, power parts etc you would reach Apple prices. Once you get to the iMac you are not having a chance to build such a machine WITH a comparable screen for that price.

It´s true you can build a powerful machine and buy Win7 and have it running for half the price of an Apple, but it won´t be the same value still. And don´t get me started on the differences of the OS (although Lion is a duck right now).
