Had a look at the top range MacPro, which has 28 cores, problem is they're only 2.5 GHz each, fine for most things, but some software only works on a single thread, meaning one core only. I thought the Quad core 3.6 GHz iMac would be best for my purposes. Problem is all these components so close together generate a lot of waste heat.
