DiViT - Get serious. The systems you've linked to aren't really comparable to the new iMac. Take the BOLData system. Low-end graphics card, no DVD writing capability or even CD-RW, software bundle not even close, lower max RAM capacity . . . should I go on? The Wave Point system, which appears to be the same machine under another brand name, incidentally, at least offers the option of a CD writer, but if you configure it with that you're adding $250 bucks to the price. That price is shown as $1399, btw, not $1,300, so the CD-RW makes it $1,599. And all this from companies that nobody's ever heard of. Let's all try to get over this whole price comparison thing already. Macs are not really overpriced, when compared to reasonably equivalent systems from first-tier manufacturers. End of story. - Allen
