And remember I gotta get a monitor for that Mac Pro, so I wasn't escaping for under 2200. That's a lot of money difference. Also ,the graphics card choices for the Mac are, well, limited. If I was committed to the Mac, had professional things I could only do on it, I would be buying it. But the fact is the PC gives me a lot more options for the things I want at a much lower cost. Trust me, it does not please me one bit - this machine is loud, clunky and graceless. Windows 8 feels like a modern version of the old System 7 At Ease extension. But it's a powerhouse compared to even that 2000$ Mac Pro in the realm of gaming, which is what I wanted to do. All I need to do to decide if I made a good choice is boot up WoW and look into the max draw distance on Ultra.

Ah, ok, thanks for the explanation. Your choice makes sense. Game on
