Try to upgrade an iMac, then you will have no doubt "what to do"... The
iMac is a crippled machine. Unless you dont plan to upgrade, customize or
tweak, dont get it. And you''ll be stuck with that built in monitor, no
video out/pci card options. You will kick yourself the ONE time when u
need that freaking floppy. There is no comparison. Oh, and that $1850+tx
is about $2100, dont forget the price of buying that usb floppy drive, or
zip drive and usb to scsi adapter... about $2500+ when all you are done.
iMacs suit some people's uses, but it a dead end as far as future
upgradability. Not every one can affford to buy a NEW machine everytime a
better one comes out (an upgradable machine comes in handy). Dont
critisize people's sales just for the sake of doing so... at least know
what the hell you are talking about. 

my 2 cents...
