For the suspicious I built the 2013 iMac of George's choice again and end up at a €1000 price tag for a NEW build (without display)

Still a lot of room for a decent display. Also the RAM is a lot faster and the Mainboard is more stable. For the same price you can get the faster and newer Nvidia GTX 970 instead of the dated 770 model.
- who's suspicious?monospaced
- A lot of people when I tell them that Apple machines are overpriced even when used and with dated hardware.mekk
- I hear ya. There's a lot to be said for the hardware design and integration, but that doesn't appeal, or isn't important, to everyone.monospaced
- well at the end, it's just an isolated BSD distro running on a very small amount of available hardware. But it looks good and this is what people want.mekk
- on a related note, can you point me toward a 3rd party display that would the same as the non-retina iMac 27" with same res and anti-reflection?monospaced
- I want one.monospaced
- As in the post before, the Dell U2715H is one.mekk
- I see. So definitely not 300 for something that will blast the apple one away then. :)monospaced
- Then there is the Acer K272HULBbmidp (stupid name!), around €300 in germany.mekk
- Side note: The Apple displays are nowhere meant for professional imaging, not even the $1000 LED cinema display. So no Benchmark there.mekk
