Computer Do Over

Thanks for all the suggestions....something to think about. We do have a good widescreen monitor and keyboard and mouse from the old setup. Just need to replace the innards.

This is actually for our main computer, it just happens to store our itunes library and is in a bedroom. It goes to a Squeezebox which is in the living room with the music stuff.
We are getting fed up with our pc crashing, we seem to replace them every few years and so are considering the switch to MAC. We have limited desk space and so the mac mini is tempting, along with wireless accessories. We have a Samsung monitor to hook up to it. We also have small netbook as well.
Appreciate all the suggestions and comments - thanks!

Well, we ended up with an IMAC which seems like an incredible machine. Wireless everything. We have our old stuff on an external hard drive, now we just have to figure out how to move everything from that to the MAC. The kid said you just plug it in and drag stuff....mmmn doesn't seem to be going that easily. Time for Apple Support calls tonight!

Thanks for all your suggestions!

So, the hard drive didn't work right either for some reason, so we are back to importing all the cd's again in lossless....this is becoming a regular hobby for us..
loving the Imac .... now here's the question - is the squeezebox sounding better with the mac than it did with the pc? Or was I having one of those late night listening experiences where everything just sounds crisper, clearer with more depth because I haven't listened for a week or so...? I swear it sounds better!
