As you can see, the iMac is not overpriced as compared to the Windows-based competition.  It is more expensive than a tower PC.  It is unfortunate that Apple does not have a tower Mac other than the MacPro, which is for professionals.  A mid-priced Mac Tower is a product that is definitely missing from Apple's product line.  As it is, the desktop of choice for Apple users is the iMac and it is not OVERPRICED, at least in comparison to the competition.  So, stop using the price of Macs as a reason not to get one.  I didn't! :)
