Help me order my new APPLE Computer


Hi,
I have decided to go with an Apple system for my next computer.
I plan on using it for music, connected to my Integrated.

What components should I order to get the best quality audio?
Thanks.

Couple of things: you don't need very much ram to use a Mac running
iTunes. You can't buy a new Mac with less than 1 GB ram, and that's
more than enough. ( I've had music playing from a Mini with 1 GB ram
for now 5 days/nights straight, without a pause or hiccup ).

Mac to DAC via USB to Bel Canto DAC3 sounds every bit as good
as my $2500 Arcam CD player.

The new Mac OS : Leopard, has *really* improved the iTunes 'Front Row' UI.
It's very nice, and worth the $129 upgrade for solely that reason, IMHO.

The Mac DVD player UI is very nice too. And it does a darn good job
at DVD playback. So you have a DVD video and DVD-A player in the deal too.

Not to mention: load your photos into iPhoto, fire up the slide show,
pick the tracks you want to assign to a slide show, and there you go.

It's all kind of a no-brainer for around $700. ( Mac Mini )
