I had a play on one tonight, and for the same money I could probably build an all singing / dancing PC....

Gonna have to think about this really hard.... I do like the iMac 27 screen...
damn you apple....

The screen was the real attraction for me too Richie. I've still not upgraded my current screen, but it's very high up on my list!

ermmm you can get a big screen for a pc and better quality for the price.

You can buy very good 4K screens for decent money now. The latest Macs are 5K IIRC & do look fantastic, but then again for that price you expect it.

For processing photos look at Quadro cards Richie, something like a K620 should suffice, or if your feeling flush a K2000 or K2200

Screen looks fine, but I would avoid the PC. Everything about it screams cheap: case is cheap, he has the spec of the motherboard wrong (even though he has linked to the specs!!!!), no manufacturer of the memory or HDD. Oh, and a Gaming machine with no GPU?!

Checking on Ebuyer, Scan & DABS for other PC Deals. Chillblast are also worth a look at for a built system.

To see what a build of components would cost use https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ as a guide. It will give you the wattage needed and generally any incompatibilities (incorrect CPU socket, memory, CPU cooler etc)

Thank you very much for the Wise words.... I'll give that PC a miss...

Right back to looking
