I haven't bought a pre-made computer in more than 10 years.  I think I have finally gotten to a point where I don't want to muck around with commodity computer hardware.  It's time to buy a pre-made machine.  I use a wide variety of operating systems at home and at work.  The idea of a virtual desktop is very appealing to me.... a single machine where I can have windows, bsd, linux, and mac os x would be great.  I've done some research on "hackintosh" and to be honest... for the first time... it's a diy project I don't want to do. So I've pretty much decided that I need to buy a mac and a copy of parallels.  Now what kind of mac do I want? Macbook pro, Mac pro, or an iMac?

Mac pro is just way too much money  but upgrading would be easy.

iMac is a pretty closed device where replacing common things like hard disks could be a project... but the screen is so nice!

Macbook Pro would be pretty awesome but lacks some of the power I would like for virtualization.

It looks more and more that I should just get an iMac and stfu.  Maybe I'll get one...
