As much as I've always said that I'd switch to Mac given the chance, I now face a dilemma. We've just come into a serious amount of cash and would like to upgrade our computer. We'd also like to buy a videocamera. I've looked into upgrading our PC and to do the upgrades we would need to accomplish any sort of video editing, we're looking @ ~$750.00 (New case, motherboard, processor, 250 GB HD, 1GB ram). A new Mac Mini Core Duo would cost us about $929. The mini DV camera we're looking at is $450.00. I'm torn, since the mac would come with iLife, which would mean I wouldn't need to really buy any editing software. Input from anyone? I have a pretty good idea what Bossk and DAYV are going to say, but what about everyone else?

P.S. the dollar figues above are Canadian dollars.
