I just bought a Mac pro 15" 2.4 2gbRAM a month or so at work for on- 
site graphics and video editing. It will spend most of it's time in  
the office, so I have made it my official "doing office work while at  
home" computer ;)

If it were my personal machine I would put 4gigs of ram in it and have  
the 7200RPM drive vs. this 5400, but I think I will give me the  
ability to test if I can get away with a Macbook Pro for my stuff or I  
really do HAVE to get a tower.
