Now we tend to run stuff on OSX on xServes. They handle the beefy stuff as well as the light stuff. It's a lot more user friendly to configure than some of the Linux flavors,

That's SuSE Linux ;-)

I was about to buy a MacBook a few weeks back but was warned off due to rumours of some chip issues, was told to wait until next gen. That said, i should have bought it, if we always wait for perfection we will never get anywhere.

I am an avid Linux user, and am looking forward to my first Mac.

Heat

Any top of the line Computer today (Dual Core or AMD'S 64/Dual Video cards Over 512 Ram/2X Gigs of Ram and a Hard Drive running over 756RPM'S) will run most anything for years to come. Except maybe some of the Graphics coming out in the next few years for Games. My home office use to get hot also when running the Computers. Extra fans made it sound like a Blackhawk was taking off under my desk. I installed a water cooling system. They are easy to install, eliminates the extra fans and keeps the Computer cooler then any variation of Fans. I just goggled for research on Water Cooling Systems. I am deployed and can’t remember my brand but they are easy to research. Plenty of info on the Web about these Systems. I paid about $150.00 for mine a year ago and installed it in less then an hour. Make sure your power source can handle it. It is the only caution you really need to check. Also have a program that reads your temperature in real time as you first boot up after installing it. Mine came with one but there are plenty of free ones to download (Speed Fan) is one that's free. Water cooling is definitely the way to go for these new Computers. Video Cards produce the most heat. This one is just for Dell users for Fan control (http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/)
