Thoughts for a new rig - looking 4 clean and compact

Thoughts on an all-in-one computer and/or something compact like the Alienware X51 ?

Will likely wait til Win 8 is the standard OS unless someone knows something I don't.

Any known problems with the iMac which is all-in-one besides the raping they do at Apple for pricing ?

Would LOVE to remove some of the horrible spaghetti wire clutter.

well im skipping windows as there is no big change other then the GUI interface and the next version of windows(code name windows blue) is do out in a couple of years.

not a big fan of all in 1 desktop setups unless you looks for a everyday computer and mild gaming ,or you are paying alot if you want a gaming rig and are limited on upgrades,think of all in ones the same as a laptop with a bigger screen. building your own is still the way to go unless you are not comfortable doing it yourself
