As for the optical drives, both my mom and sister own 15" iMacs, and my mom's disc drive died within a few months, and then my sisters died and makes funny/weird sounds. The LITE-ON disc drive you got there is one of the best you can buy (It's in my future build, as well as that RAM ). I get what you're trying to do, but I don't really think it's worth it. Just look at all the upgrading 'options' you can get for an iMac, and it becomes clear that it's overpriced, and they don't even tell you the specific details about the hardware, essentially leaving you in the dust. Only a product based purely on hype could sell so many units and tell you so little about the actual product. Microshit sucks, but at least they tell you what you're getting on the box. Apple just puts some minimalist hipster art on the box (have you ever opened a box from an Apple product? It's insane on how much money they probably waste on just the PACKAGING) tells you it has 'performance' hardware, and you're supposed to eat it up.

It's powered by the blood of all the babies Steve Jobs murdered.

I remember a poem about the Windows logo:
Red for the blood my programmers gave, Green for all of the money I've made, Yellow for the sun that brightens my Day, Black for the hole that eats all your RAM, No need to ask, you know who I am.

A HUGE "hidden" cost of buying a Mac is actually Windows. Most Mac users end up buying Paralels and Windows. There is also the overhead of having to re-buy all their software for Mac (such as MS Office).

22. Never owned an Apple product. Have used them when forced (ie: school), or to change music in a car when friend is driving, but that's it.

Nah, forced as in the class was for learning Maya, and they only had licenses for the mac version, so the class was in one of the mac labs.
