The Beautiful New iMacs
When I was looking at the configurations available of the new iMacs at the Apple Store online, I think I got a little carried away. I wanted to research what options were available to people, and well… I got to dreaming.

“What if money were no issue… what would my (current) ideal Apple order look like…..”

Well, I told a friend I could easily drop $100K at the Apple store, but it turns out I was wrong. Here’s most of the list of what I would get for our family if spending limits were set free:

  • 1 Octo-Core MacPro for me (3TB of interal storage, 16GB RAM, loaded…)
  • 2 30″ Apple Displays to go with that MacPro
  • 2 24″ iMacs (one for me, one for Jen)… mine would have the 2.8Ghz Core 2 Extreme processor, both with 1TB of interal storage, 4GB RAM
  • 1 15″ MacBook Pro, loaded, for my portable needs…
  • 1 White MacBook for Jen, again, loaded. Larger hard drive, since she has lots of photos.
  • 4 20″ iMacs for the kids, standard configuration on those…
  • 7 external speakers from Bose (for each computer)
  • 9 AppleCare Extended Warranties (gotta protect your intestment!) :-)
  • 3 AppleTVs (one for each floor, of course…)
  • 1 80GB iPod (we’d give our other one to the kids)
  • 3 Bose SoundDock Digital Music Systems (again, one for each floor…)
  • A 10TB XServe (Apple RAID server) with all the software and Service/Warranty (this is a hefty sum!!!)
  • A few more fun peripherals…

And all of that added up to just over $63,000! Not bad!!!

:-)

And don’t forget, we could sell all of our current equipment and put that towards the $63K… so, that would make it a bit cheaper.

:-)

Of course, in our current financial state, this will never happen. But hey, you never know… If I had a million dollars… ;-)
