OrionX: Dell equivalent to SuperDrive iMac The best I could do with a Dimension 4400 was $1920, which also included the Lexmark Z33 printer, though it only had a 40 GB HD and lower-quality speakers and LCD: 1.6 GHz P4, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, 15in VE150B LCD Flat Panel, DVD+RW/ CD-RW, HK-195 speakers, 64MB NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 4X AGP Graphics Card with TV-Out, Standard Dell Movie Studio Bundle for XP, MS Works Suite 2002 This is significantly closer to the SuperDrive iMac than anything offered by IBM, but still falls short at the same price. Your second point remains extremely pertinent, however: the BIG BIG BIG difference, which many non-computer savvy people would easily overlook, is the integration of all the components like firewire and the integrated S/W tools you get on the Mac which you just can't match on the PC. Just that is easily worth several hundred dollars saved and many many hours of headaches avoided. Buona fortuna
