Yeah, I found a six core windows machine for $800. Ad a monitor for $300 and you're paying a little more than what the minimum iMac is. If I did that, I could still keep my Mac for other stuff. TrackIR is my big hold up. I always change my mind. ;D Since X-Plane is the only thing I do besides surf the web (at X-Plane stuff usually), maybe a windows would satisfy my needs for X-Plane. After all, I can't pay thousands of dollars for a Mac Pro. TrackIR would be a huge benefit though...
