This was my first Macintosh that I purchased in October of 2007. I purchased it with the release of OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and the knowledge that I could still run Windows via Parallels and Boot Camp. However, I had every intention of switching away; I have now found programmes for everything I left...

One of my all-time favorites. Annoyed with myself for starting with MacBook then iMac--should have grabbed this thing ages and ages ago. Using FCP and CS4 on my old machines was such a pain that I began to unconsciously avoid work for reasons other than simple procrastination....

THE best computer I've ever had! I sell those so I get to work on every incarnation of Mac Pro. LOVE them.

As stated in my comments about the "Speed and features" score, this is not now nor has it ever been an attractive system for the PC gamer - it is not even remotely competitive on that front. This is both unfortunate and disappointing given the lip service that Apple is giving to gaming on OS X....
