My MAIN Macintosh...
A 27 inch iMac 3.2 GHz Intel i3 system (with an added 24 inch display) is my base unit
3.2 GHz Intel i3 processor with 27 inch LED display
All-in-one design! (What you SEE is the ENTIRE COMPUTER.)
Mac OS X version 10.6.8 operating system
(Also able to run Windows XP as well as Ubuntu Linux ALL AT THE SAME TIME as Mac OS-X!)
Four Gb of memory
Equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
ATI Radeon HD 5670 (with 512MB V-RAM) video card
8x double-layer SuperDrive (able to create Dual-layer DVDs as well as CDs)
1000 Gb (One TERABYTE!) Serial ATA hard drive built-in
I also have a REMOTE two Terabyte drive as a backup hard drive
I now have Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 loaded into this iMac
I can load and run Windows XP in just a few seconds...
Windows, etc. and the Mac operating systems can ALL run at the same time!
The iMac has a built-in 27 inch LCD display (See above)
This is also driving a Dell 24 inch display; Together, the two 24 inch displays give me a lot more "desktop" space. (See the pictures of the Dell monitor below.)
The Dell 24 inch LCD display has lots of inputs, lots of outputs! (See above)
The LAN (Local Area Network) and related components
All of the local computers are DSL-served via an Ethernet-based LAN (Local Area Network)

The KITCHEN computer...
Peg's computer is another 27" Intel iMac. (She also has a version 5 iPod Touch and a new iPad, which she enjoys a LOT!)
This iMac also has the Elgato HDTV tuner; This makes the TV set operate like a TiVo set! With this, we can record high definition TV programs, even up to 1080i screen resolution. This makes the kitchen computer also function as a really great TV (and DVR, or Digital Video Recorder) set for us! (We used to have a Sony TV set in the same area with the computer, and so we have now gotten rid of this set, as the computer/TV does an extremely good job for all functions.
