Ok, this is my delimaa, I have the choice of either getting a MAC or a PC, I have 1300 to spend. I will use the system for AutoCAD, Design (ie. Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign), and general web site programming and minimal c ++ and java programming. I am learning towards a PC, as it would be quite easier for programming and scripting. Though I can’t seem to get my eye of a MAC. What do you guys suggest?!

not a dilemma at all,
if you do CAD work you are better on autodesk's side and for programming i would still go with visual studio, both windows only so simple choicea computer is a tool not a clothes

So....programming...CAD...3D Modeling is PC. Everything design= Mac?

anything designy you can do on a Mac you can do on a PC.
I like both computers btw, I'm not getting into a geek fight about PC's ;)

both will do the job you need. If you got £1300 get your self a 17" iMac with tonnes of extra RAM.

Autocad + Mac = utopia
Autocad + Mac = reality
Autocad + PIV 3.6ghz + 2Gb RAM + 256Mb video = wisdom

(which you will be thankful for when autocadin')

i just spec'd a server for $850.
amd64, 1gb ram and 4x 200gb sata drives in a raid 10 config (that's a mirrored 400gb of usable space for the normies).you could drop the drives to a raid 1 with just 2 satas and use the left over cash to get your fancy graphics card and a nice monitor or two.
and, you can too use autocad on a laptop. i did it my entire existence in architecture at drury.
