Dumb question, but if I purchase one of these TB hubs for a 2011 iMac, can I use the USB 3 ports?

Hi Marvin, Thanks for the info! What are your thoughts on Caldigit? Looks like they're planning to release this is sometime this year: Thunderbolt Drive- CalDigit T2. I can get one 512gb SSD now and another one later.

Got my new iMac today! Damn this thing is fast!!!! I was lucky to have a firewire cable- I transferred all my settings/files from the MP to the iMac. I went for a run and came back and it was finished. As for RAM- I was happy to find out…

Update- I'm going to purchase the iMac i7 3.4ghz w/ 1TB HDD. My wife is a Bank of America employee and she gets roughly a 8-12% discount. I still have to pay tax, but it's the best option I have. I will order 8GB RAM from Amazon also. I'm g…

I'm starting to think that I need to give up the idea of trying to use my 3 sata internal hard drives and just buy something that is made for Mac.... maybe I can take my old harddrives, and them back into my dell, and try to resale it on craigsli…

I guess I'm gonna run with this: 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, purchase a SSD and go to a local retailer who can install it.

I wonder why Amazon doesn't carry any i7 iMacs? I have an Amazon Prime membership- 2nd day shipping for free. and their prices can't be beat.

One more question about the iMac... When connecting 2 other displays (Dell 22" and Samsung 24"), all I need is a display port adapter? Or do I have to shell out $200 extra for the dual link adapters??? which also eat up 2 USB ports...

Thanks guys for all the great advice! I think I'm leaning towards returning the Mac Pro and getting an iMac i5 w/ a SSD. I'd love to get a i7, but I'm afraid it will eat up my budget. Speaking of SSDs- should I buy one and install it myself? …

Hmm, the track pad. I messed w/ it at the Apple store. I've suffered from tennis elbow for the last two years (damn P90X!) and using a mouse has kept my elbow from healing. I used a handshake mouse w/ my PC... but it really didn't help much…

Holy $#!t- thanks for the in depth response! I was told by an Apple employee that I couldn't run 3 displays w/ an iMac. And I hate to just ditch my 3 internal HDDs because the iMac can't use them... right? I still have 2 weeks remaining to …

I'm gonna do it! Someone better stop me or I'm gonna do it! I can't believe I'm about to drop $2500 on a computer. But this is for work. No computer, no work.

Does anyone know when the new Shuffles will be in stock this week at their retail locations? Monday, Tuesday, etc? I hope this new generation model works like the old 2nd gens. I run everyday. I sweat profusely. I went through 2 3rd gen Shuffl…
