   I'm a fan of the wedge form factor, so the 400/500/500+ is in my   
   criteria. It's easy enough to duct tape a machine behind a monitor for a   
   poor-man imac.   
      
   I will get a 500+ once it's no longer sold out where it is priced   
   fairly. And I will go down the rabbit hole of my own custom build at   
   leisure.
