    I bought a new i7 Quad core imac for home last Spring and maxed it out with 16Gb Ram, and a SSD. It runs really good with all I've done on it so far... lots of AE/FinalCut HD work. A little 3d, and all the CS... Obviously not as fast as a MacPro, but the thing the worries me most is how hot it gets. There is hardly an air vent on the back, and the shit will burn your hand after using for an hour. I'm sure this effects render times. It makes me nervous to the point were if I needed to depend on a home computer more for work, I'd probably get another MacPro. I love the space it saves though, and the all in one monitor.
