Ok, so everyone says to stay away from a Mac. So I have decided to go with the desktop. Thank OME and aardvark for your help. So i have the motherboard taken care of. I like the way OME has his set up in his corner. I went with the AMD A series chipset. I will keep my mac to print the invoices and scheck emails and search the web. What else besides the chipset would I need. What are good graphics cards? And is a 2 gig card good enough or should I go to the 3 gig? Like OME i will most likely be running Mach3 or Pronerface. Should I continue to slice form my laptop or get the desktop set up to do so? Do you do it all from your desk top OME?
