FIRST, I was saddened by the fact that I'm just a 10 minute drive from ATI's HQ. I bought an ATI Xpert@Work 8mb (a royal POS... I STILL can't get OpenGL to work AT ALL thru hardware on it... and the new drivers posted on the website have always been WORSE than the ones shipped with the card...)
Now I've got yet another reason. Creative is working with a company based in my home town on this shameful project.
Honestly, these systems really aren't that bad of an idea for CONSUMERS (us geeks will have to stick with beige--which turns to yellow with age--for now). The iMac would be better if it were a PC.
I'm sure everyone here will agree that the iMac ripoff PCs are all trash, since they all copy an original design. I don't know about you guys, but I've always been fond of the HP systems. They're original looking, and well designed. And they're upgradeable too (for those bold enough to venture in that direction.)
BTW... if you live in the Thornhill/Markham area and are looking to buy a custom system, check out SkyNet... they've got great prices, and they're all very friendly. (Even though their English isn't flawless... but who gives a damn anyway?)
