You're an idiot. Not only did you rez a thread that's nearly two years old, you are spouting shit that isn't remotely true. Go look up what ping is and try to tell me 1500 is fine. It's not remotely playable. You ruin the game with high ping, anyone that does can gtfo.

They are nice computers, I'll give that to them. Very good build quality, excellent reliability, and a smooth operating system. The problem is, they don't offer anything over PC's to justify the outrageous price. After you listed you specs, I was curious to see how much that thing cost, knowing it was gonna be a lot. So I went on their website and configured a 27" iMac to your specs. You didn't list your Hard Drive, so I left that default, but after putting in the i7, 32GB RAM, and the 680MX, the total is at $2949. One thing to note is the graphics card. Don't call it a GTX 680, because it's not. It's a 680MX. HUGE difference. Since it's an all in one, they have to use a mobile GPU, resulting in significantly less performance. The 680MX is closer to a GTX 580, not the GTX 680. The 580 is still good, but nowhere near a 680. Also, 32GB RAM? I don't see that as necessary, but you might use it, I don't know. The bad thing about it though is the price. To move from 8GB to 16 they charge an extra $200. Are you serious? Do you know how much it would cost me to buy 2 4GB sticks of 1600mhz DDR3 RAM? $50 or less. That's a $150 markup. For 32GB it's an extra $600 over the $8GB. I've seen 32GB 1600mhz around $200. That processor can't be overclocked either, since it's not unlocked and doesn't have a custom heatsink installed. Not a huge deal, but since OC means free extra performance, that means you are missing out. Here is an equivalent/better Windows PC: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.99 @ Microcenter) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ Outlet PC) Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($95 @ Microcenter) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($204.99 @ NCIX US) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($67.99 @ NCIX US) Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 3GB Video Card ($289.99 @ NCIX US) Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($57.99 @ NCIX US) Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($69.99 @ Newegg) Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($15.98 @ Outlet PC) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ Outlet PC) Monitor: AURIA EQ276W 27" 2560*1440 IPS LED Monitor ($400 @ Microcenter) Total: $1551 Half the price, and it matches the Mac in everything, beating in in many areas. The processor in this one is a bit faster and can be overclocked up to around 4.4GHz with that CPU cooler. The GPU is probably slightly faster or about equal, but will do better at higher resolutions due to more VRAM. The RAM and Hard Drive are the same, and the Monitor has the same resolution as well. I understand that they need to make money, but $1500 markup is too much IMO. However, if you choose and enjoy using a Mac, that's your choice. So for now Dayz can be played in Bootcamp if you've got the hardware(and money for that kind of Mac!) and possibly will be made for Mac OS one day. Also, I do own an iPad, so I don't completely boycott apple.
