I worked out some prices based on thomann for everything, with someone buying it all ex-vat for me and claiming the vat back: - all these macs with basic 320gb drive and 2gb ram - thing is some people on forums have been saying the quad core is so far ahead on power than g5, that unless you want to runs tons of silly plugs it's overkill getting 8 cores... but...
also you can shave some off by NOT taking the thomann apple price and dumping applecare (it'll save you not much but...) you can knock another 500 quid off if you go with a 23" apple screen and frankly another 340 quid if someone gives you logic lol
all monthly payments based on IF loan quotes at 7.5 %
