cinema display vs imac

[mick thompson]

i'd prefer 2 imacs, you could load the secondary imac up as a node for double the power

I thought about this too. Having an iMac as a display+node= fucken win but is it even possible?

haha, i saved up a shit load of money. i had nothing to spend it on!

get the mac pro and the cinema display. you'll definitely fill up PCI-e slots and other expansion options at some point in time in your career, compared to the iMac's limitations. You won't need to get a machine for the next 10 years.

That's right :zombie:

that reminds me, do we already have the painfully obvious "I love Logic"-thread somewhere?

i wouldnt waste the money on the cinema display...my girl has one and its nothing to go crazy about...your better off looking for a toshiba or a samsung monitor itll do you just as good...and those mini adapters are only like 20 buck i think

Don't think that's possible...

Do you need a really good display for DAW use? I mean you don't have to get a Cinema Display, unless you're a graphics professional or something...

Again, yes, it IS possible

Seriously, it's awesome how the cinema display has the firewire hub, and it's obviously a better display and looks very good too. but that's about it, so if you really have way too much to spend then do it
