My PC is giving me grief again. I've about had it. It is time for an upgrade, but this time I'm thinking of doing a total makeover...

I use the pc primarily for internet, one game, IGN: Command & Conquer Renegade , music, iPhone w outlook, and sometimes making a photo/movie slideshow. Not much more. It used to be a HTPC but with a DVR and blue ray there is not much point. The kids use MS word,e xcel and powerpoint for school.

I'm thinking of an apple, but not sure... Based on my needs will I miss a PC or will an apple blow me away? If it will blow me away - which one should I get?

(as an aside - I've been thinking of storing my media on a network hard drive - not sure how that will go with itunes and with an apple)
