Question for Mac to Pc Converts..

Ohhh FFS' that should read "Pc to Mac Converts" lol

Mine should be here soon, but was wondering what you did with your Pc's (tower, screen etc etc).

Will I need it once I get 100% everything on a Mac running fine? (ill be running Bootcamp possibly Fusion)

Mines old, but the screen is a GOOD Dell ultrasharp, plus I built it all, cant feel I can sell it lol.

What did ya all do with yours?

Gave away what my mates wanted and sold the rest.

I think the hardest thing for me to part with was my Dell 2405. I enjoyed running dual screen with my MBP for a few weeks but in the end I got fed up with it and realised that the 17" MBP screen was good enough by itself.

I ran OSX86 on my PC for a few months then sold it to my brother. Bought a basic Macbook which I had for a few months then I sold that on eBay for more than what I bought it for and bought an awesome PC, and ruturned to OSX86. Then a few weeks ago I sold it again to my brother again lol, and got an iMac. Don't think I'll go back to PCs again. Macs hold their value too well.

Bought my first PC for 500 and sold for 300. Macbook 800 new and 900 on eBay. PC I bought for 850 and then sold it for 300 to my brother. Crazy.

I dont have that kinda space lol, wonder if stripping it and selling in parts is worth it, or tray and make a silent media centre out of it.

I was really hoping to remove clutter from the room hence the iMac.

My PC sits behind the LCD TV as a music/movies/iplayer/40D machine.

I sold my pc in bits and pieces, freed up soo much space on my desk and I now have more room for all the beer I can now afford thanks to the sale

Selling my PC, kept my 22" widescreen monitor.

keep the monitor if it has a bigger res then the Mac you plan buying.

well, i would only have used my pc for occasional gaming, so i sold the pc for about 800 notes and bought a ps3 with a few games and pocketted the rest

the ps3 has seen 10 times the action the pc would have so i'm happy as larry

Thing is my Pc is pretty low spec, using it a lot of Music production so never really needed to upgrade it for much TBH, so dont see myself getting much money for it.

Getting into After effects (im a designer by trade) hence the iMac.
