I'll echo and reinforce opinions that you try to get the cheapest ATI =
card and least RAM, then add your own better components. The Quadro 4000 =
is about $750-800 street, and since it uses a single power connector =
(and is only 1 slot wide) you have the option of adding a second one =
later. And more RAM, for sure. I wish I had gotten 48 GB for my 12 core =
instead of 24.

If you're allowed to buy through the Apple online store, then definitely =
check their refurbished machines often =
(http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac) - 15% savings =
is typical. All of our recent machines and monitors have been Apple =
refurbs, and we're happy.

If you can wait until NAB, I would., as there tends to be announcements =
there.
